About MEURX

Managed with a value-oriented approach, the fund invests primarily—at least 80% of its assets—in equity securities of companies located outside the United States. The portfolio focuses on undervalued businesses and, to a lesser extent, stressed and distressed securities as well as merger arbitrage opportunities. Sectors represented in its top holdings include energy, healthcare, financial services, and technology, with companies such as BP PLC, Shell PLC, Novartis, and Samsung Electronics featuring prominently. Geared towards institutional investors, this share class maintains a significant exposure to large-cap international equities and aims to deliver long-term growth across diverse market environments. With a history dating to 1996, the fund occupies a notable position within the foreign large value category, serving investors seeking global diversification and value-driven opportunities outside the U.S. market.
