Overview

Overview

Why Invest in This Fund?

  • Focused, diversified international core equity portfolio that includes promising companies from both developed markets and emerging markets outside the U.S.
  • Rigorous, fundamental research process focused on buying sustainable businesses with sound business fundamentals trading at a discount to intrinsic value and with a defined path to success.
  • Three-basket portfolio construction process that seeks to provide style diversification, reduce volatility and deliver superior risk-adjusted performance over time.

Investment Objective

The fund’s goal is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and debt securities of all types.

Investment Approach
