ARUVX Investment Objective and Strategy

ARGA Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Advisors' Inner Circle Fund III.

Investment objective

The ARGA Value Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. companies and in other financial instruments, such as shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that have similar economic characteristics to such securities. This 80% investment policy can be changed by the Fund upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. For purposes of the 80% policy, the Fund may purchase stocks issued by companies of any size, but it typically focuses its investments on large-cap stocks. The Fund considers a company to be a U.S. company if any of the following apply: (i) its securities are traded principally in the United States; (ii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, the United States; or (iii) while traded on any market, it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from the United States or has at least 50% of its total assets situated in the United States (the Revenue or Asset Test).

For purposes of the Funds 80% investment policy, equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants, convertible securities, Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), private placements through both initial and secondary underwritten offerings (including Rule 144 and 144A securities, which are securities that may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), pursuant to an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act), ETFs and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs)). Depositary receipts are certificates typically issued by a bank or trust company that represent ownership interests of non-U.S.

companies. In seeking to achieve the Funds investment objective, the Adviser utilizes a value style of investing. The Adviser believes that investors overreact to short-term developments in companies, leading to opportunities to generate gains as the companies recover. The Advisers valuation-focused process uses a dividend discount model to select stocks that trade at a discount to intrinsic value based on a companys long-term earnings power and dividend-paying capability. The Adviser primarily targets a portfolio of U.S. equity securities that, in the Advisers opinion, appear to be temporarily undervalued by the stock market. In selecting securities to buy for the Fund, the Adviser combines quantitative screens with fundamental research. The Adviser applies quantitative screening to rank companies on key value metrics, including price-to-consensus forecast earnings, price-to-book value, dividend yield and normalized earnings yields (adjusted for return on invested capital) to focus its analysis generally on the most undervalued companies.

Fundamental research is then used to develop fundamental forecasts to estimate long-term earnings power and dividend paying capability of the companies, such as revenue growth rates and operating margins. The research also considers various economic and company-specific scenarios that may affect these fundamental forecasts. These forecasts are then analyzed in the Advisers dividend discount model, which estimates the present value of future forecast dividend payments by discounting them at an appropriate interest rate. In other words, the Advisers dividend discount model estimates what these forecasted dividend payments are worth in todays dollars. The Adviser then selects securities that the Adviser perceives as trading at a discount to intrinsic value as estimated by the dividend discount model.

Generally, the more attractive the Adviser views the valuation upside, after taking into consideration potential risks, the larger the position size. The Fund may invest in ETFs for cash management purposes, including to equitize cash, while the Adviser determines how to invest the cash. The Fund will primarily invest in ETFs that have characteristics consistent with the Funds principal investment strategy. Further, the Adviser considers sustainability as encompassing broad environmental and other economic factors that may impact companies long-term earnings and valuations. Sustainability risks and opportunities are evaluated in the Advisers investment process similar to other fundamental factors. Where material and quantifiable, considerations such as sustainability impacts on costs, earnings, market share and competitive position, may affect the Advisers assessment of company valuations.

The Adviser will generally sell a security when it has a relatively low expected return to intrinsic value. Additionally, the Adviser may sell a security if its fundamentals deteriorate or if the Adviser identifies another security that the Adviser believes has a relatively more attractive discount to intrinsic value.
