Thornburg International Equity ESG Strategy

Important Information

Source: FactSet, and Thornburg.

Investments in the Strategy carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Carefully consider the Strategy's investment objectives, risks, and expenses before investing. There is no guarantee that the portfolio will meet its investment objectives.

Diversification does not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses.

Portfolio characteristics are derived using currently available data from independent research resources that are believed to be accurate. Portfolio attributes can and do vary.

Portfolios invested in a limited number of holdings may expose an investor to greater volatility.

A strategy’s adherence to its ESG ratings process may affect its exposure to certain companies, sectors, regions, and countries and may affect its performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. This process may result in the strategy foregoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities for ESG reasons when it might be otherwise disadvantageous for it to do so. Additionally, the process may result in incorrectly evaluating a company’s commitment to positive ESG practices and may result in investment in companies with practices that are not consistent with the strategy’s aspirations.

Investing in an ESG-focused strategy does not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company's operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company's leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.

Portfolio holdings and characteristics shown herein are from a representative account managed within the investment composite. The representative account is selected based on account characteristics that Thornburg believes accurately represent the investment strategy as a whole. Should these characteristics change materially, Thornburg may select a different representative account. Holdings may change daily and may vary among accounts, which may contribute to different investment results. The representative account information is supplemental to the strategy's composite and GIPS compliant presentation.

The information provided in this report should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security. There is no assurance that any securities discussed herein will remain in an account's portfolio at the time you receive this report or that securities sold have not been repurchased. The securities discussed may not represent an account's entire portfolio and in the aggregate may represent only a small percentage of an account's portfolio holdings. It should not be assumed that any of the securities transactions or holdings discussed were or will prove to be profitable, or that the investment recommendations or decisions we make in the future will be profitable or will equal the investment performance of the securities discussed herein.

Weight percentages are of the total portfolio unless otherwise noted.

Portfolio construction will have significant differences from that of a benchmark index in terms of security holdings, industry weightings, asset allocations and number of positions held, all of which may contribute to performance, characteristics and volatility differences. The index shown is unmanaged, reflect total returns and assume the reinvestment of all income in U.S. dollars. It does not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses associated with a portfolio’s returns. Returns for an actual portfolio may differ from those of an index due to (among other things) differences in timing and the amount invested and fees and expenses. Investors may not make direct investments into any index.
