Overview

Why Invest in This Fund?

  • Focused exposure to promising global ex-U.S. companies – Invests in a thoughtfully selected set of businesses, primarily in developed markets outside the U.S., offering distinct international diversification and return potential.
  • Thorough fundamental research and disciplined valuation at its core – Employs a rigorous bottom-up research process to identify sustainable, high-quality companies trading below intrinsic value with a clear path to long-term value creation.
  • Diversified portfolio construction– Invests across three types of stocks—basic value, consistent earners, and emerging franchises—to balance styles, reduce volatility, and enhance risk-adjusted returns.

Investment Objective

Investment Approach
