Investment objective Seeks capital appreciation
Goal We seek to outperform the MSCI EAFE Index (net div) over full market cycles by relying on stock selection as the primary source of alpha.
Philosophy
Invest rather than speculate
We invest with a long-term investment horizon, which capitalizes on opportunities created by investors with shorter investment horizons. Our global research platform, collaborative investment approach and compensation structure are all aligned with this timeframe.
A growth at a reasonable price style with a quality bias
We seek companies we believe have above-average, sustainable growth and return prospects over the long term. Typically these companies have identifi able competitive advantages that lead to fairly predictable earnings and cash fl ow, strong balance sheets, management interests that are aligned with shareholders, and transparent corporate governance.
Focus on downside risk
We manage capital with the goal of attempting to avoid stocks with substantial downside risk, and only invest where we believe valuations more than compensate for inherent risks. Downside risk is emphasized in stock selection, portfolio construction, and risk management.
Investment Approach
Risks
The fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund. Stock: Stock markets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to or investor perception of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, and other conditions. International: Investments in foreign markets can involvegreater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, currency, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. Please see the prospectus for further information on these and other risk considerations.
