SAELX Investment Objective and Strategy

SA Emerging Markets Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Sa Funds Investment Trust.

Investment objective

The Funds goal is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund pursues its goal by generally investing in a broad and diverse group of equity securities of companies in emerging markets, which may include frontier markets ( i.e. , emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development). The Fund intends to purchase securities of companies with small, medium and large market capitalizations in their respective markets that the Sub-Adviser considers to be value stocks at the time of investment. The Sub-Adviser considers value stocks primarily to be those of companies with a low price in relation to their book value. In assessing value, the Sub-Adviser may consider additional factors such as price-to-cash flow or price-to-earnings ratios. In addition, the Sub-Adviser may, in its discretion, adjust the representation in the Fund of an eligible company, or exclude an eligible company, after considering such factors as free float (a companys share capital that is freely available for trading), size, value, trading strategies, liquidity, profitability, momentum and other factors that the Sub-Adviser determines to be appropriate, given market conditions.

In assessing profitability, the Sub-Adviser may consider different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. The criteria the Sub-Adviser uses for assessing value or profitability are subject to change from time to time. The Fund seeks to achieve its goal by investing in companies in countries designated by the Investment Committee of the Sub-Adviser from time to time as approved markets. The Fund is authorized to invest in the following approved markets: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. The Sub-Adviser may authorize other countries for investment in the future in addition to the approved markets listed above.

In addition, the Fund may also continue to hold securities associated with countries that are not listed above as approved markets but had been authorized for investment in the past and may reinvest distributions received in connection with such existing investments in such previously approved countries. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in emerging markets investments that are approved market securities. The Fund's definition of what constitutes a small, medium and large company varies across countries and is based primarily on market capitalization. In each approved market, the companies listed on selected exchanges are ranked based upon their market capitalizations. The minimum market capitalization of any company eligible for purchase is generally $50 million.

This threshold will vary with market conditions. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
