INSIGHTS ON THE MORNINGSTAR OWNERSHIP ZONE

Description

Objective
The fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.
Distinguishing Characteristics
The fund is intended to serve as a primary emerging markets portfolio allocation and seeks to offer a fully invested, pure equity solution. The fund allows minimal flexibility to investments in companies domiciled outside emerging markets up to 10% of the assets of the fund so long as a minimum of 75% of a company’s revenues or profits or assets are derived from emerging markets. The fund’s positioning will be mainly driven by bottom-up selection rather than large top-down country or sector allocation decisions. The fund seeks to deliver in-line or lower volatility, but with superior long-term security selection relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
Types of Investments
The fund invests primarily in developing country equity securities.
Portfolio Restrictions
The fund may invest no more than 10% of its assets in securities of issuers that are in a developing country that is not a Qualified Market. Qualified Markets are countries that have securities markets designated for investment by the funds investment adviser after taking into account, among other factors, market liquidity, the availability of information about the market and the impact of applicable government regulation. The fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities of issuers that are not in developing countries, provided that at least 75% of such issuers' assets are in developing countries, or such issuers derive or expect to derive at least 75% of their total revenue or profits from goods or services produced in or sales made in developing countries.
