Investment objective
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, we invest: at least 80% of the Fund's net assets in equity securities of foreign issuers, and up to 20% of the Fund's total assets in emerging market equity securities. We invest principally in the equity securities of foreign issuers through the use of three different styles of international equity management: an international growth style, subadvised by Artisan Partners Limited Partnership; an international value style, sub-advised by LSV Asset Management; and an international blend style, sub-advised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated. We invest primarily in developed countries, but may invest in emerging market countries and may invest in equity securities of any market capitalization. Furthermore, we may use futures, options or participation notes to manage risk or to enhance return.
We reserve the right to hedge the portfolio's foreign currency exposure by purchasing or selling currency futures and foreign currency forward contracts. However, under normal circumstances, we will not engage in extensive foreign currency hedging. Artisan Partners Limited Partnership (Artisan Partners) Artisan Partners employs a fundamental stock selection process to identify long-term growth opportunities to build a portfolio of non-U.S. growth companies of any market capitalization. Artisan Partners seeks to invest in companies within its preferred themes with sustainable growth characteristics at attractive valuations that do not fully reflect their long-term potential. Artisan Partners may sell a stock when Artisan Partners thinks the stock is approaching full valuation, the company exhibits deteriorating fundamentals, changing circumstances affect the original reasons for its purchase, or more attractive opportunities are identified.
LSV Asset Management (LSV) LSV invests in equity securities of foreign issuers which it believes are undervalued in the marketplace at the time of purchase and show recent positive signals, such as an appreciation in prices and increase in earnings. LSV believes that these securities have the potential to produce future returns if their future growth exceeds the market's low expectations. LSV uses a quantitative investment model to make investment decisions for the Fund. The investment model ranks securities based on fundamental measures of value (such as the dividend yield) and indicators of near-term recovery (such as recent price appreciation). A stock is typically sold if the model indicates a decline in its ranking or if a stock's relative portfolio weight has appreciated significantly (relative to the Fund's benchmark).
Wells Capital Management Incorporated (Wells Capital Management) Wells Capital Management invests in equity securities of foreign issuers by using bottom-up stock selection, based on in-depth fundamental research as the cornerstone of its investment process. During each stage of the process, Wells Capital Management also considers the influence on the investment theses of top-down factors such as macroeconomic forecasts, real economic growth prospects, fiscal and monetary policy, currency issues, and demographic and political risks. The investment process seeks both growth and value opportunities. For growth investments, Wells Capital Management targets companies that it believes have strong business franchises, experienced and proven management, and accelerating cash flow growth rates. For value investments, Wells Capital Management targets companies that it believes are undervalued in the marketplace compared to their intrinsic value.
Wells Capital Management may purchase securities across any market capitalization. Wells Capital Management may sell a stock if it achieves its investment objective for the position, if a stock's fundamentals or price change significantly, if it changes its view of a country or sector, or if the stock no longer fits within the risk characteristics of the Fund's portfolio.
