The Portfolio specializes in investing in a wide variety of non-U.S. companies across developed markets, aiming to diversify its investments to mitigate risks and maximize returns. It primarily targets equity securities, dedicating at least 80% of its net assets towards this type of investment. This strategic approach allows the Portfolio to participate in the potential growth of companies outside the United States, catering to investors looking to internationalize their investment strategy. The Portfolio's investment policy is designed to be flexible yet focused, ensuring a broad exposure to international markets while adhering to its core objective of equity investment.
At the heart of the Portfolio's offerings is its investment in equity securities of non-U.S. companies. This includes stocks of corporations in various industries and sectors within developed markets. By prioritizing equity investments, the Portfolio seeks to leverage the potential for high returns through capital appreciation, dividends, and other earnings typical of stock investments.
In addition to direct equity securities, the Portfolio may invest in depositary receipts. These are negotiable financial instruments issued by banks to represent a foreign company's publicly traded securities. Depositary receipts allow the Portfolio to gain exposure to foreign stocks without the complexities of direct investments in foreign markets. These instruments can be listed or traded outside of the issuer's domicile country, providing further diversification and flexibility in investment choices.
