Investment objective

To achieve long-term capital growth by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks in companies in the world's largest industrialized countries outside North America, including countries in Europe and the Far East, including Japan and Australia. This Fund is different from the Global Equity Fund because the primary focus of its investments does not include companies in the United States.
