Mutual Fund · Currency in USD · Last updated Jun 3, 2026

The fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies located throughout the world, including the United States. Under normal market conditions, it invests at least 40% of its net assets in companies organized, headquartered or doing a substantial amount of business outside the United States including emerging and frontier market countries.
