FOCUS ON QUALITY

Those companies typically have dominant market positions in stable, growing industries; low sensitivity to economic and market cycles; healthy balance sheets and low capital intensity; and sustainable cash generation and effective capital allocation.

A HIGH-QUALITY INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIO

The Fund provides investors access to high-quality, international companies that are expected to consistently grow free cash flow. The Fund provides exposure to the quality investment factor in international markets, without a bias toward more traditional factors such as growth and value. The concentrated, high-conviction portfolio consists of 25 to 40 quality companies.

QUICK LINKs


Because the Fund may invest in fewer issuers than a more diversified portfolio, the fluctuating value of a single holding may have a greater effect on the value of the Fund. Investing in foreign markets may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations and economic and political risks. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors, its performance will be sensitive to factors affecting those sectors. Information Technology sector companies may face intense competition and rapid product obsolescence; have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel; and lose patent, copyright and trademark protections. The Fund’s incorporation of environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) considerations in its investment strategy may cause it to underperform funds that do not incorporate these considerations. The Fund participates in a securities lending program. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of this Fund will be met.
