Sub-Advised by: Copper Rock Capital Partners LLC

Home › Mutual Funds › Global / International Equity › Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund

Objective

The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of small-cap companies located in emerging market countries.

Investment Style

  • Applies a blend of fundamental and quantitative analyses to generate initial investment ideas
  • Seeks to add value through bottom-up stock selection and in-depth fundamental research
  • Examines a company's financial condition, management team, business prospects, competitive position and overall business strategy
  • Looks for companies believed to have strong management, superior earnings growth prospects and attractive relative valuations

+ A Word About Risk

The Fund invests in equities which are subject to market volatility and loss. The Fund invests in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, such as ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, which carry the associated risks of economic and political instability, market liquidity, currency volatility and differences in accounting standards. The Fund invests in emerging markets securities which are more likely to experience turmoil or rapid changes in market or economic conditions than developed countries. The Fund invests in stocks of small- and mid-cap companies, which may be subject to more erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies. The Fund may experience higher portfolio turnover which may lead to increased fund expenses, lower investment returns and higher short-term capital gains taxable to shareholders. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. The advisor engages the sub-advisor to manage the Fund's portfolio; the sub-advisor's judgment may impact the Fund's performance.
