The fund seeks primarily capital appreciation and secondarily current income by investing in companies across any size outside the United States. The sub-adviser’s investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities. Next, the research team invests in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. infrastructure-related issuers. According to the team, an infrastructure-related issuer has at least 50% of its assets consisting of infrastructure assets or 50% of its gross income or net profits attributable to or derived, directly or indirectly, from the ownership, management, construction, development, operation, utilization or financing of infrastructure assets.

Also, the fund will allocate its net assets among issuers located in no fewer than three different countries, one of which may be the United States.

Next, the research team invests in securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. real estate companies, including real estate investment trusts and similar REIT-like entities. According to the team, a real estate company is one that derives at least 50% of its revenue from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land, or has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate. The research process is driven by fundamental analysis of one stock at a time. In selecting securities for the portfolio, the research team evaluates securities based on price-to-net asset value, cash flow multiple/growth ratios and a dividend discount mode As part of the process, the team assesses the commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength, and corporate structure. Also, the research team integrates environmental, social and governance factors as part of its process. Then the manager constructs a portfolio of stocks from a list of companies favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level. The manager allocates the fund’s net assets among various regions and countries, including the United States (but in no less than three different countries). When investing, the fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The non-U.S. companies in which the fund invests may include those domiciled in emerging market countries.

The fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, and European Depositary Receipts. |

The fund seeks capital appreciation in the long term by investing in companies across any size outside the United States. The investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities. Next, the research team invests in securities of issuers engaged primarily in health care-related industries, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The team considers an issuer to be engaged in health care-related industries, if it derives50% or more of its gross income or its net sales from activities in the healthcare industry, or it devotes 50% or more of its assets to producing revenues from the health care industry. Also, the team considers companies whose primary business is within the health care industry. Issuers engaged in healthcare-related industries include those that design, manufacture, or sell products or services used for or in connection with health care or medicine. The research process is driven by fundamental analysis of one stock at a time. In selecting securities for the portfolio, the research team focuses on companies exhibiting attractive growth prospects relative to their current valuations. Additionally, the team seeks to identify companies whose future growth prospects are not yet recognized by investors. In analyzing specific industries, the team emphasizes companies with above-average growth and demand; below-average reimbursement risk; and high barriers to entry. However, in analyzing specific issuers, the team looks for leading issuers with defensible franchises, niche-oriented products and/or services, potential to expand margins and improve profitability, superior earnings-per-share growth, balance sheet strength, and a capable management team.

The fund seeks total return by investing in companies across any size outside the United States. The sub-adviser’s investment process starts with a list of companies in the benchmark index and the research team utilizes quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to identify investment opportunities. Next, the research team invests in real estate and real estate-related issuers or investments that provide exposure to real estate and real estate-related issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. In selecting securities for the portfolio, the research team utilizes both a quantitative screening process and a qualitative stock selection process. As part of the quantitative screening process, the team relies on a proprietary model to identify approximately 100 qualifying securities of companies in the retail, office, industrial, hotel, healthcare multi-family and self-storage sectors. In the qualitative stock selection process, the team selects the top 40 to 50 securities from among the approximately 100 qualifying securities on the basis of management quality, external growth potential, corporate governance, quality and location of assets, lease terms, tenant credit quality, debt structure and financial flexibility. Then the manager constructs a portfolio of stocks from a list of companies favored by the research team and allocates capital based on its conviction level. The fund may invest 100% of its net assets (other than cash and cash equivalents) in real estate investment trusts, and may also invest in other publicly traded real estate securities that are included in the Index. Also, the fund invests at least 40% of its net assets in the securities of issuers located in at least three foreign countries.
