The Fund’s objective is capital appreciation, measured in U.S. dollars. The Fund invests primarily (at least 70%) in emerging markets equity securities. Such emerging market countries are located in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the developing countries of Europe, primarily Eastern Europe. The Fund may also invest in developed market equity securities. The Investment Manager generally manages the Fund to maintain allocations across sectors that are similar to the Fund’s index, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (USD) and seeks to add value through stock selection based on fundamental investment analysis (“research”). The benchmark does not otherwise limit investment selection. The Fund may invest in companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies), in companies it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies), or in a combination of growth and value companies.
