C000198588 Investment Objective and Strategy
Columbia Overseas Core Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Columbia Funds Series Trust II.
Investment objective
Columbia Overseas Core Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide shareholders with long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets ( plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of foreign companies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in emerging market countries. The Fund may invest directly in foreign equity securities, such as common and preferred stock, or indirectly through mutual funds and closed-end funds, as well as depositary receipts. The Fund may invest in securities of or relating to issuers believed to be undervalued (i.e., value stocks), represent growth opportunities (i.e., growth stocks), or both. The Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of any size, including small-, mid- and large-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in companies involved in initial public offerings, tender offers, mergers, other corporate restructurings and other special situations.
The Fund may at times emphasize one or more sectors in selecting its investments, including the financials sector. From time to time, the Fund may focus its investments in certain countries or geographic areas, including Europe and Japan. The Fund may invest in derivatives, such as forward contracts (including forward foreign currency contracts), futures (including equity futures and index futures) and options (including options on stocks and indices), for both hedging and non-hedging purposes including, for example, for investment purposes to seek to enhance returns or, in certain circumstances, when holding a derivative is deemed preferable to holding the underlying asset. In particular, the Fund may invest in forward currency contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Funds securities, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another, to shift U.S.
dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark, or to adjust an underweight country exposure in its portfolio. The Fund may also invest in equity index futures to manage exposure to the securities market and to maintain equity market exposure while managing cash flows.
