Description

This fund primarily invests in the common stocks of companies located in Europe and the Pacific Rim, focusing on those that the investment adviser believes offer significant potential for growth. These "growth stocks" are defined as shares the adviser expects to achieve above-average capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund's net assets will be dedicated to securities from issuers within these European and Pacific Basin regions. A portion of the fund's holdings may also include common stocks and other financial instruments from businesses in emerging markets.
