Fund Facts:

Fund Highlights:

• Flexibility to capitalize on fixed-income and equity market opportunities globally
• Management team – Dan Fuss, David Rolley, Mark Baribeau, and Warren Koontz – with more than 100 years combined investment experience
• May be suitable for investors seeking enhanced return potential and global diversification, with the ability to take on risks of global investing

Fund Objective:

• Seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income

Investment Strategy:

• The fund managers seek to achieve the fund's investment objective of high total investment return through diligent selection of thoroughly researched equity and fixed-income securities across the globe.
• The approach seeks to identify undervalued securities in the broader world market.
• The flexible nature of the fund seeks to enhance structural diversity while retaining the opportunistic quest for relative value.

Risks:

• Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in foreign securities, the value of the fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, political, and economic developments. In emerging markets these risks can be significant. 
• The fund is subject to currency risk, which is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of a fund’s investments to decline. Funds that invest in securities denominated in, or receive revenues in, foreign currency are subject to currency risk. 
• Because the fund can invest a significant percentage of assets in debt securities that are rated below investment grade, the value of fund shares can be adversely affected by changes in economic conditions or other circumstances. These events could reduce or eliminate the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. 
• Lower-rated debt securities have speculative characteristics because of the credit risk of their issuers and may be subject to greater price volatility than higher-rated investments. In addition, the secondary market for these securities may lack liquidity which, in turn, may adversely affect the value of these securities and that of the fund.
