Principal investment strategy

The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Class III shares of GMO Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund (EDOF), a series of GMO Trust not offered in this Prospectus. EDOF invests in securities and other instruments. The Funds investment objective and principal investment strategies are substantially similar to those of EDOF. Except as otherwise indicated, references to the Fund may also refer to EDOF, and references to actions undertaken or investments held by the Fund may also refer to those by EDOF. GMO serves as investment adviser for both the Fund and EDOF. GMO seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective by under normal circumstances investing at least 80% of the Funds assets directly and indirectly (e.g., through underlying funds or derivatives) in investments tied economically to emerging markets (see Name Policies).

The Fund primarily invests in equities of companies whose prospects are linked to the internal (domestic) development and growth of the worlds non-developed markets (emerging markets), including companies that provide goods and services to emerging market consumers. Emerging markets include all markets that are not treated as developed markets in the MSCI World Index or MSCI EAFE Index. The Funds investments are not limited to investments in companies located in any particular country or geographic region and often include investments in companies located in developed markets (e.g., the United States) when those companies are tied economically to emerging markets. GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Funds risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark. GMOs investment process begins with country and sector allocation and then uses fundamental analytical techniques to select individual companies.

In evaluating and selecting investments, GMO may consider many factors, including, among others, GMOs assessment of an investments fundamentals, growth prospects, positioning relative to its competitors, and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria. In constructing the Funds portfolio, GMO considers a number of factors, including the trade-off among forecasted returns, risk, transaction costs and liquidity. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. At times, the Fund may have substantial exposure to a single asset class, industry, sector, country, region, or currency. The factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time. As an alternative to investing directly in equities and fixed income securities, the Fund may invest in exchange-traded and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The Fund also may invest in derivatives and ETFs in an attempt to obtain or adjust elements of its long or short investment exposure and as a substitute for securities lending. At any given time the Fund may have material exposure to ETFs. Derivatives used may include options, futures, forward currency contracts, swap contracts, and reverse repurchase agreements. The Funds foreign currency exposure may differ from the currency exposure represented by its equity investments. In addition, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities. The Fund also may invest in fixed income securities of any maturity or credit quality (including below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as high yield or junk bonds)). The Fund also may invest in GMO U.S. Treasury Fund, in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO, and directly in the types of investments typically held by money market funds.
