Principal investment strategy

"The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in Class III shares of GMO Quality Fund (""Quality Fund""), a series of GMO Trust not offered in this Prospectus. Quality Fund invests in securities and other instruments. The Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies are substantially similar to those of Quality Fund. Except as otherwise indicated, references to the Fund may also refer to Quality Fund, and references to actions undertaken or investments held by the Fund may also refer to those by Quality Fund. GMO serves as investment adviser for both the Fund and Quality Fund. GMO seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing primarily in equities of companies that GMO believes to be of high quality. A high quality company is generally one that GMO believes has an established business that will deliver a high level of return on past investments and that will utilize cash flows in the future by making investments with potential for high levels of return on capital or by returning cash to shareholders through dividends, share buybacks, or other mechanisms.

In selecting securities for the Fund, GMO uses a combination of investment methods and may consider both systematic factors, based on profitability, profit stability, leverage, and other publicly available financial information, and judgmental factors, based on GMO's assessment of future profitability, capital allocation, growth opportunities, and sustainability against competitive forces. GMO also may rely on valuation methodologies, such as discounted cash flow analysis, and multiples of price to earnings, revenues, book values or other fundamental metrics. In addition, GMO may consider ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria as well as trading patterns, such as price movement or volatility of a security or groups of securities. The Fund is permitted to invest directly and indirectly (e.g., through underlying funds or derivatives) in equities of companies tied economically to any country in the world, including emerging countries.

The term ""equities"" refers to direct and indirect investments in common and preferred stocks and other stock-related securities, such as convertible securities, depositary receipts, and equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) and income trusts. At times, the Fund may have substantial exposure to a single asset class, industry, sector, country, region, currency or issuer. As of June 1, 2018, the ten largest holdings of Quality Fund represented approximately 45% of Quality Fund's net assets. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. The factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time. GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund's risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark. 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, and as a substitute for securities lending. Derivatives used may include futures, options, forward currency contracts, and swap contracts. In addition, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities. 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. The Fund may hold cash, cash equivalents, and/or U.S. government securities to manage cash inflows and outflows as a result of shareholder purchases and redemptions."
