Products and Services

• Equity Securities of Non-U.S. Companies

  The fund invests in equity securities, such as stocks, of companies that are based or primarily operate outside of the United States. This includes a vast array of sectors and industries, providing a diversified portfolio that spans global markets. Companies selected for investment typically have a market capitalization of more than $1.5 billion, indicating a focus on more established and potentially stable international companies.

• Emerging and Frontier Markets Investments

  A significant portion of the fund's total assets may be allocated to securities issued by companies in emerging and frontier markets.
