EP Latin America Fund
Investment Objective
Income and Capital Appreciation.
Strategy: Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, which include borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of Latin American companies of any market capitalization. The Fund considers Latin America to include Mexico, Central America and South America. The Fund considers a company to be a Latin American company when the company is organized in Latin America or its primary trading market is in Latin. There are no limits on the geographic allocation of the Fund’s investments within Latin America. The Fund’s sub-advisor, however, anticipates that a substantial portion of the Fund’s investments will be in companies in Brazil, Mexico Argentina, Columbia, Peru and Chile. The Fund’s equity investments include common stock, preferred stock, and warrants. The Fund may also invest in American depository receipts ("ADRs"). ADRs are certificates issued by U.S. banks representing specified numbers of shares (or one share) in foreign stocks that are traded on U.S. exchanges. The Fund is a "non-diversified" fund, which means that the securities laws do not limit the percentage of its assets that it may invest in any one company (subject to certain limitations under the Internal Revenue Code).
In selecting the Fund's investments, the Fund's sub-advisor uses bottom-up fundamental analysis that aims to identify growing but stable companies trading at attractive valuations relative to anticipated growth in revenue and earnings. Prior to making an investment, the sub-advisor considers factors including, but not limited to: financial statement analysis; quality of management; insider ownership; perceived soundness of the business strategies; ability to sustain a competitive advantage; liquidity; and valuation relative to expected growth.
Carefully consider the risks and special considerations associated with investing in the fund. You may lose money by investing in the fund. Foreign investments also present risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political factors, lower liquidity, government regulations, differences in securities regulations and accounting standards, possible changes in taxation, limited public information and other factors. The risks are magnified in countries with emerging markets, since these countries may have relatively unstable governments and less established markets and economies. More information about these risks and others can be found in the fund’s prospectus. Benchmark: MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America Index
