The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of foreign companies located in emerging markets or whose primary business activities or principal trading markets are in emerging markets. The Fund may invest in equity securities of any market capitalization and may at times focus its investments in one or more sectors.

LGM Investments may make adjustments to the list of emerging markets countries from time to time based on economic criteria, market changes, or other factors.

LGM Investments uses a bottom-up, fundamental approach to identify quality, growth companies typically with dominant industry positions, strong balance sheets, and cash flows to support a sustainable dividend payout. From time to time, the Fund maintains a portion of its assets in cash. The Fund may increase its cash holdings in response to market conditions or in the event attractive investment opportunities are not available.
