Risk Disclosures:
Key Risks – The Fund is subject to market fluctations and security selection risk, foreign and emerging markets security risk, quantitative risk, and derivatives risk.
Market fluctuations and security selection risk. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. Global economies are increasingly interconnected, and political, economic and other conditions and events (including, but not limited to, war, conflicts, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, trading and tariff arrangements, inflation/deflation and social unrest) in one country or region might adversely impact a different country or region. Furthermore, the occurrence of severe weather or geological events, fires, floods, earthquakes, climate change or other natural or man-made disasters, outbreaks of disease, epidemics and pandemics, malicious acts, cyber-attacks or terrorist acts, among other events, could adversely impact the performance of the Fund. These events may result in, among other consequences, closing borders, exchange closures, health screenings, healthcare service delays, quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, market volatility and general uncertainty. These events could adversely impact issuers, markets and economies over the short- and long-term, including in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. The Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by political or economic conditions or events. Moreover, negative political and economic conditions and events could disrupt the processes necessary for the Fund’s operations. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Foreign and emerging markets security risk. The value of the Fund’s securities may be affected by social, political and economic developments and laws relating to foreign investment, as well as foreign currency exchange rates. The extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging markets can be less than in more developed foreign markets. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make emerging markets securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value. These risks are enhanced for investments in smaller capitalization companies.
Value stock risk. Value stocks are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. The Fund’s value discipline sometimes prevents or limits investments in stocks that are in its performance comparison benchmark index.

A “weighted average” measures a characteristic by the market capitalization of each stock. Price/book ratio is the weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in a portfolio. The P/B ratio of a company is calculated by dividing the market price of its stock by the company’s per-share book value. The price/earnings ratio is the weighted average of the price/earnings ratios of the stocks in a portfolio. The FY2 P/E ratio is a forward P/E ratio using a next-twenty-four months EPS estimate in the denominator. Data is from the Investment Adviser’s accounting system and will differ from the Fund’s official net asset value for reasons including: differences in the accrual of certain expenses, income, and recognition of cash flows, and fund holidays.

Commentary (As of 31 August 2026)
Highlights
Portfolio Attribution
The Fund underperformed the Index during the month, due primarily to stock selection. Fund holdings in the semiconductors & semi equipment, consumer durables & apparel, and transportation industry groups detracted from relative performance. Holdings in the consumer discretionary distribution & retail and utilities industry groups, as well as an underweight position in the consumer staples distribution & retail industry group, offset some of the underperformance relative to the Index. The largest detractor was multinational luxury conglomerate, Kering SA (France). Additional notable detractors included passenger & cargo airline, Alaska Air Group, Inc. (United States), and cruise ship operator, Carnival Corp. (United States). The top contributor to return was business software & services provider, SAP SE (Germany). Other notable contributors included diversified pharmaceutical company, Merck & Co., Inc. (United States), and industrial technology company, Hexagon AB (Sweden).
Investment Outlook
Artificial intelligence continues to reshape the investment landscape, driving substantial capital spending on data centers, semiconductors, power infrastructure, and related technologies. As investor enthusiasm became increasingly concentrated in AI infrastructure companies, we trimmed select semiconductor positions whose share prices approached our targets and redeployed the proceeds into other areas of the global equity market, including capital goods, consumer durables, and media and entertainment, where we believe long-term earnings potential is not fully reflected in current valuations.
Persistent inflation and strained government finances have put upward pressure on long-term government bond yields in much of the developed world. Higher bond yields threaten equity valuation multiples. Amid elevated geopolitical risk, we remain focused on identifying companies with durable competitive advantages and management teams we view as capable of navigating an increasingly complex operating environment.
Our investment process continues to emphasize bottom-up stock selection to identify businesses where operational improvements, disciplined capital allocation, and shareholder-oriented governance can unlock value not yet recognized by the market. We also seek companies that are successfully adopting AI to improve efficiency, strengthen competitive advantages, and enhance long-term earnings power. Against a backdrop of higher interest rates, persistent inflation, and geopolitical risk, our valuation discipline and bottom-up research remain central to identifying long-term investment opportunities across global equity markets.
