BMO Disciplined International Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Bmo Funds, Inc..
Investment objective
To provide capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies located in countries outside of the United States. The Fund invests primarily in companies that are located in the countries included, at the time of purchase, in the MSCI EAFE Index, which includes developed countries outside of North America. However, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in companies located in countries not represented in this index, including emerging market countries. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stock, preferred stock, depositary receipts, rights, warrants, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund also may invest in convertible securities (fixed income securities convertible into shares of common or preferred stock). In determining where a company is located, the Adviser primarily relies on the country where the company is incorporated, but also may consider the country where the companys revenues are derived and the primary market listing for the class of shares to be purchased.
The Fund may invest in companies across all market capitalizations and may at times focus its investments in one or more sectors. The Funds Adviser focuses on companies that it believes are fundamentally strong, have attractive valuations, possess growing investor interest, and may outperform the overall equity market. Using a unique approach which combines the use of proprietary analytical tools and the qualitative judgments of the investment team, the Adviser selects equity securities that it believes will provide higher returns than the MSCI EAFE Index, its benchmark index. As part of this process, the Adviser considers numerous factors including (but not limited to) valuation, earnings quality, earnings growth potential, and earnings and price momentum. The Adviser invests in those securities it believes will provide a better return relative to their risk than other securities.
The Adviser may sell a security for numerous reasons, including if a companys fundamentals deteriorate or the Adviser believes a companys fundamentals will deteriorate, if another security appears to provide the potential for a better return relative to its risk, if the Adviser believes the security is no longer attractively valued, or if the Adviser believes the security will no longer help the Fund achieve its investment objective. The Adviser also may sell a security to manage the size of a holding or sector weighting or to fund redemptions. The Fund may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, a type of derivative instrument, for purposes of hedging its exposure to non-U.S. currencies. 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.
