IVWIX Investment Objective and Strategy
IVA Worldwide Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by IVA Fiduciary Trust.
Investment objective
The IVA Worldwide Fund (the Worldwide Fund) will seek long-term growth of capital by investing in a range of securities and asset classes from markets around the world, including U.S. markets.
Principal investment strategy
To achieve its investment objective, the Worldwide Fund primarily seeks investment opportunities in companies of any capitalization that International Value Advisers, LLC, the Funds investment adviser (the Adviser), believes have fundamental value, financial strength and stability. The Worldwide Fund may, however, invest in companies with fundamental value that do not have the other characteristics. The Adviser, under normal market conditions, will invest no less than 30%, although it intends to invest at least 40%, of the Worldwide Funds total assets in equity and debt securities issued by foreign companies and governments. The Adviser may invest the Funds assets in any region of the world. It may invest in companies based in emerging markets, typically in the Far East, Latin America and Eastern Europe, as well as in companies operating in developed countries, such as those of the U.S., Canada, Japan and Western Europe.
The Worldwide Fund identifies investment opportunities through intensive research of individual companies and generally does not focus or rely on current stock market conditions and other macro factors when assessing potential investment opportunities. For these reasons, the Worldwide Fund may seek investments in the equity securities of companies in industries that the Adviser believes to be temporarily depressed. The Worldwide Fund determines an issuers economic ties to a particular country based on the location where such issuer is headquartered or incorporated, or the location from where the issuer derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits, if such location is other than the location where such issuer is headquartered or incorporated. Under normal circumstances, no one position in equity securities will exceed 5% of the total assets of the Worldwide Fund at the time of investment.
If the Worldwide Funds position in one of the below referenced securities exceeds 5% of the Worldwide Funds total assets after the time of investment, the Worldwide Fund may continue to hold such securities. As part of its principal investment strategies, the Worldwide Fund intends to invest in: (a) foreign and domestic common and preferred equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs); (b) foreign and domestic fixed income securities; and (c) precious metals, primarily through gold bullion and gold mining securities. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality, including those rated investment grade (rated in one of the four highest ratings categories by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) or Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P)) and those considered high-yield and rated below investment grade (rated Ba or lower by Moodys or BB or lower by S&P, commonly referred to as junk bonds).
Under normal circumstances, the Worldwide Fund will invest in the following fixed income securities: notes, bills and debentures, bank debt obligations and structured notes, high-yield debt securities rated below investment grade, convertible securities, Rule 144A securities and structured notes (Rule 144A securities are restricted securities that can be resold to qualified institutional buyers but not to the general public); and securities issued by supranational organizations and sovereign debt securities. Any investments in unrated bonds will be evaluated by the Adviser to determine the comparative credit quality of the unrated debt. In selecting debt securities to achieve the Worldwide Funds investment objective, the Adviser will consider the likelihood of default and the potential for capital appreciation.
The Worldwide Fund may purchase precious metals in any form (bullion and coins or contract form). The Fund intends, however, to purchase only those forms of precious metals that are readily marketable and that can be stored in accordance with custody regulations applicable to mutual funds. The Adviser will consider selling a security when it determines that such security no longer offers fundamental value or financial strength and stability. As a result of the Advisers disciplined investment process, from time to time, and for extended periods of time, the Worldwide Fund may hold a substantial position in cash or money market instruments which may be used to take advantage of future investment opportunities, meet redemption requests, or make other anticipated cash payments without selling portfolio securities.
During periods of rising securities prices, a substantial cash position may result in cash drag, i.e., the opportunity cost of not being fully invested. The Worldwide Fund may invest a portion of its assets in derivative instruments. These include forward contracts and futures contracts. The Worldwide Fund may invest in derivatives primarily to seek to hedge exposure to certain markets and securities and/or for speculative ( i.e ., non-hedging) purposes. The Worldwide Fund may seek to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies, typically through the use of foreign currency derivatives, including currency forward contracts and may engage in currency transactions with counterparties to gain or reduce exposure to certain currencies or to generate income or gains.
