Products and Services

The fund's product and service offerings can be summarized as follows:

• Equity Securities Investment: The primary service involves investing in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. This includes stocks and other equity instruments issued by companies located outside the United States, aiming at capital growth through international diversification.
• Diversified Global Portfolio: The fund maintains investments in securities from companies domiciled in at least three different foreign countries, ensuring a well-diversified portfolio that spreads out investment risk across various global markets.
• Capped Country Concentration: To mitigate concentration risk, the fund limits its investments in any single country to 25% or less of its total assets. This policy ensures a balanced exposure across various international markets, reducing the impact of regional volatility on the overall portfolio.
• Emerging Market Exposure: While it may invest without limitation in securities of emerging market issuers, the fund typically restricts its investment in any one emerging market country to 25% of its total assets. This strategy permits the fund to explore the growth potential of emerging markets while managing the associated risks.
