Description

This fund primarily seeks to invest in the equity (common stock) of growth-oriented companies that are either headquartered or conduct the majority of their business operations outside the United States. The entire portfolio has the flexibility to be invested in international securities. It may allocate capital to companies in both established global markets and developing economies around the world. Typically, at least 65% of the fund's assets will be held in common and preferred shares issued by companies domiciled in a minimum of three different non-U.S. countries. A significant emphasis is placed on selecting common stocks from issuers that the portfolio management team identifies as having strong potential for future earnings or revenue growth.
