The fund primarily targets common stocks and other equity securities of companies located outside the United States, including both developed and emerging markets, with the flexibility to invest up to 10% of its assets in U.S. companies. Employing a growth-oriented strategy, the fund seeks out firms believed to have the potential for substantial long-term earnings expansion, conducting research with a multi-year horizon and constructing a high-conviction portfolio typically holding around 50 or more securities.
