The fund seeks capital appreciation in the long term by investing in companies across any size outside the United States. The fund manages assets with the help of three sub-advisers.

Next, the research team focuses on securities of issuers economically tied to countries other than the U.S., including those in emerging markets. 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 from time to time, have significant investments in a particular sector or country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region; provided that it invests in at least three different countries other than the U.S. According to the investment team, the issuer of a security is generally deemed to be economically tied to a particular country other than the U.S. if the security is issued or guaranteed by the government of that country or any of its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities. Also, the team considers if the issuer is organized under the laws of that country, or maintains a principal office in that country. Furthermore, the team considers an issuer that has its principal securities trading market in that country, or derives 50% or more of its total revenues from goods sold or services performed in that country. Additionally, the team determines if the issuer has 50% or more of its assets in that country; or is included in an index which is representative of that country. |

Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Fund + | RWIIX | 6% | -6% | 2.1% | |
The fund seeks primarily total return in the long term and secondarily capital appreciation by investing in mid-and large-size companies 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. The process employs an investment approach designed to track the performance of the Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Index (the International Index). In selecting securities for the portfolio, the research team focuses on companies’ net share count reduction, free cash flow growth, dividend yield, and volatility and debt/asset ratios. The team also employs a multi-factor tactical risk management overlay that seeks to identify periods of above-average risk. 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 portfolio typically holds approximately 100 stocks. However, the fund may be invested in more or less than 100 stocks at any given time. Also, the fund will be invested in a diversified portfolio of securities of developed international markets and emerging market countries or investments that are economically tied to equity securities (i.e., derivatives) such as American Depositary Receipts, equity options, swaps, convertible bonds and warrants. In addition, the fund seeks to approximate the investment performance of the International Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the International Index. The fund may concentrate its investments in a particular country, region, industry or group of industries to the extent that the International Index concentrates in a country, region, industry or group of industries. In response to adverse market conditions, the fund may be invested for temporary, defensive purposes in money market instruments. These money market instruments may include treasury bills, certificates of deposit and commercial paper and other short-term instruments, money market funds, and in short and intermediate-term U.S. or foreign Treasury bond or bond funds. |
