Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of small market capitalization companies (“small cap companies”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 35% of its net assets in investments economically tied to countries other than the U.S., or, if in the view of TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC, the subadviser to the Fund (“TimesSquare” or the “Subadviser”), market conditions are not favorable, at least 30% of its net assets in investments economically tied to countries other than the U.S., and the Fund will hold investments economically tied to a minimum of three countries other than the U.S. The Fund considers an investment to be economically tied to a country other than the U.S. if it provides investment exposure to a non-U.S. issuer. The Fund considers a company to be non-U.S. issuer if (i) it is organized outside the U.S. or maintains a principal place of business outside the U.S., (ii) its securities are traded principally outside the U.S., or (iii) during its most recent fiscal year, it derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed outside the U.S. or it has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S.
The Fund primarily invests in U.S. and non-U.S. small cap companies, allocating investments across different countries and regions. TimesSquare considers small cap companies to be those
with market capitalizations at the time of purchase within the range of capitalizations of companies in the MSCI World Small Cap Index. As of March 1, 2024, the date of the latest rebalance of the MSCI World Small Cap Index, the range of market capitalizations was $31 million to $16.609 billion. This capitalization range will change over time. The Index is rebalanced quarterly. The Fund may continue to hold securities of a portfolio company whose market capitalization subsequently drops below or appreciates above the Fund’s small market capitalization range. Because of this, the Fund may have less than 80% of its net assets in securities of small cap companies at any given time. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries. To gain exposure to foreign issuers, the Fund also may invest in exchange-traded funds.
TimesSquare uses a bottom-up investment process driven by fundamental research conducted by its investment analysts. TimesSquare also applies a macro overlay to monitor and mitigate country risks through active management. In addition, TimesSquare integrates into its fundamental research process an analysis of environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) data. With respect to each potential investment, TimesSquare prepares an assessment of ESG indicators, as defined by TimesSquare using widely accepted sustainability standards, third-party data (including MSCI, Inc.) and internal expertise, with a focus on financial materiality. Because the financial materiality of ESG indicators can vary from one company to another, the set of ESG data analyzed differs across the Subadviser’s assessments. Examples of ESG indicators assessed by the Subadviser may include product safety (for consumer discretionary companies), human capital management (for software/IT services companies), and water and waste management (for semiconductor companies), among others. As part of this analysis, the Fund will not initiate positions in companies that are deemed to violate the principles of the United Nations Global Compact, as determined by a third party. Except with respect to companies that violate such principles, the results of the Subadviser’s ESG assessment alone will not preclude an investment, and an investment could be made in a company with a poor ESG assessment that meets the Subadviser’s other investment criteria. Under normal circumstances, the Subadviser seeks to maintain a growth oriented focus and invest the Fund’s assets pursuant to the following core principles:
•Revenue growth and profitability should drive equity returns over the long term.
•Early-stage and traditional growth companies should provide the greatest opportunity.
•Risk management with respect to the Fund’s portfolio should focus on avoiding losing money, rather than minimizing tracking error against the benchmark.
•A disciplined investment process requires consistently identifying opportunities, evaluating potential returns and responding with timely buy/sell decisions.
