GMICX Investment Objective and Strategy
GMO International Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Gmo Trust.
Investment objective
High total return.
Principal investment strategy
GMO seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective by investing the Funds assets primarily in non-U.S. developed market equities. GMO selects the securities the Fund buys and sells based on its evaluation of companies published financial information, securities prices, equity and other markets, the overall global economy, and governmental policies. In selecting securities for the Fund, GMO uses a combination of proprietary quantitative investment methods to identify international equities GMO believes have positive return potential relative to other international equities. Some of these methods evaluate individual companies or groups of companies based on the ratio of their security price to historical financial information and forecasted financial information, such as return on invested capital, profitability, cash flow and earnings, and a comparison of these ratios to current and historical averages.
Other methods focus on patterns of information, such as price movement or volatility of an asset class, security, or market, and macroeconomic factors. In constructing the Funds portfolio, GMO also considers a position size, sector and industry exposure, country and region exposure, currencies, market capitalization, liquidity, and transaction costs. At times, the Fund may have substantial exposure to a single asset class, industry, sector, country, region, issuer, or currency and companies with similar market capitalizations. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. GMO also may consider ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria. For example, GMO generally avoids investing the Funds assets in companies engaged in the manufacture, supply, or distribution of cluster munitions, as well as companies primarily involved in the mining and production of thermal coal.
The factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time. As an alternative to investing directly in equities, 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. Derivatives used may include futures, options, forward currency contracts, and swap contracts. In addition, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests directly and indirectly (through underlying funds or derivatives) at least 80% of its assets in equities (see Name Policies). The Fund also may invest in U.S. Treasury Fund, in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO, and directly in the types of investments typically held by money market funds.
