Overview

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

The fund’s goal is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and debt securities of all types.

Investment Approach

The fund combines deep bottom-up research with a flexible, three-basket framework to build a balanced portfolio of global ex-U.S. companies. This approach enables thoughtful style diversification, active risk management, and consistent alignment with long-term fundamentals.
