Under typical market conditions, this fund allocates a substantial portion—at least 80%—of its total net assets (including any capital borrowed for investment purposes) to the common stock of businesses located in either Europe or the Pacific Rim. The fund's management defines a European country as one included in an MSCI European index, while the Pacific Rim encompasses any nation whose borders touch the Pacific Ocean. The fund specifically targets large, mid, and small-capitalization companies that its advisor identifies as being value-oriented and consistently paying dividends.
