In adherence to its global strategy, the fund commits at least 40% of its total assets to securities of non-U.S. companies. This significant allocation underlines the fund's belief in the potential of international markets and its commitment to diversifying its investment portfolio across different regions and economies. The focus on non-U.S. companies allows the fund to benefit from global growth trends, market expansions, and the dynamism of emerging and established markets outside the United States.
Despite its global reach and international investments, the fund maintains a non-diversified status, concentrating its investments in a relatively small number of companies that meet its strict criteria for exceptional quality and enduring competitive advantage. This concentration strategy enables the fund to make significant investments in its chosen companies, potentially leading to higher returns, albeit with a possibly higher level of risk compared to diversified funds.
