The investment objective of the Portfolio is long-term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of equity securities of Japanese companies that are determined by the Investment Manager to be undervalued. For these purposes, a "Japanese company" is a company that that (i) is domiciled or organized in Japan, or (ii) is established and conducting business in Japan or (iii) carries out the preponderant part of its economic activities in Japan. The Investment Manager believes that, over time, a company’s stock price will come to reflect its intrinsic economic value. The Investment Manager’s fundamental value approach to equity investing generally defines value by reference to the relationship between a security's current price and its intrinsic economic value as measured by long-term earnings prospects.
