Description

Under typical market conditions, this fund primarily allocates a significant portion—at least 80%—of its total assets to international equity securities. Its investment strategy largely concentrates on companies operating within well-established, developed nations. The fund's management team and sub-advisers aim to mitigate market fluctuations and achieve reduced volatility. They accomplish this by carefully constructing a portfolio of holdings that principally exhibit a history of, or projected, stable share prices and consistent corporate earnings. In addition to this focus on inherent stability (often referred to as absolute risk), they also consider factors like low correlation among investments—meaning assets that don't tend to move in the same direction—and their anticipated future returns.
