About MSAAX

The Morgan Stanley Institutional Fund, Inc. Passport Overseas Equity Portfolio Class C is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities of companies outside the United States. Leveraging a blend of quantitative and qualitative country analysis, the fund’s investment strategy allocates assets among developed and emerging markets based on projected economic growth and equity return potential. It further refines its selections through sector allocation and bottom-up fundamental research to identify promising international equities poised to benefit from prevailing market conditions. The fund is categorized as a Foreign Large Blend, diversifying holdings across major global economies such as Japan, Britain, France, and Germany, while generally maintaining less than 20% exposure to U.S. stocks. Class C shares of the fund carry a deferred sales charge that diminishes after the first year. With an inception date for the share class in 2015, the fund holds a significant asset base and distributes income annually. The Passport Overseas Equity Portfolio serves investors seeking diversified international equity exposure, managed by a seasoned team within Morgan Stanley Investment Management.
