Investment objective
The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Investment Manager allocates the Portfolios assets among various emerging markets equity strategies managed by the Investment Manager (and other emerging markets equity securities held in other strategies managed by the Investment Manager) in proportions consistent with the Investment Managers evaluation of various economic and other factors through quantitative and qualitative analysis. These proportions are changed from time to time without notice to shareholders, and at any given time the allocation to one strategy, region or country may comprise a substantial percentage of the Portfolios assets, or conversely, there may be no allocation to any such strategy, region or country. The Investment Manager will make allocation and securities selection decisions based on quantitative and qualitative analysis using a number of different tools, including proprietary software models.
Quantitative analysis includes statistical analysis of portfolio risks, factor dependencies and trading tendencies. Qualitative analysis includes analysis of the global economic environment as well as internal and external research on individual securities, portfolio holdings, attribution factors, behavioral patterns and overall market views and scenarios. The Investment Manager may consider a securitys value or growth characteristics in selecting investments for the Portfolio and may invest in securities of any size or market capitalization. The equity securities in which the Portfolio invests may be denominated in the US dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen, the Pound Sterling, or the local currency of the issuer. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies whose principal business activities are located in emerging market countries.
In addition to common stocks, such equity securities also may include ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Emerging market countries include all countries not represented by the MSCI World Index. The allocation of the Portfolios assets among countries and regions may vary from time to time based on the Investment Managers judgment and its analysis of market conditions.
