EuroPac International Value Fund
Investment Objective
Income and capital appreciation
Strategy: Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of companies located in Europe and the Pacific Rim. The Advisor considers a country to be part of Europe if it is part of the MSCI European indexes and part of the Pacific Rim if any of its borders touches the Pacific Ocean. In addition, under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 50% of its net assets in non-US companies. The Fund will invest in large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies that are considered by the Advisor to be value oriented and dividend paying companies.
The Fund seeks to identify countries, and industries within those countries that are best positioned to perform relative to other countries and industries. In making this determination a number of considerations are taken into account such as expectations for change in valuation of foreign currency, changes in world demand for products or services, diversification of foreign trade practices, policy changes of the foreign government, and expectations for fundamental factors such as interest rates, inflation and GDP growth. Following selection of countries and industries, the Fund will use a bottom-up approach to select individual companies. A number of qualitative and quantitative factors are considered when selecting the companies such as dividend yield, valuation versus growth, capital structure, quality of management, corporate governance practices, float and liquidity, strengths and opportunities versus the peer group, and business specific risk. The Fund also seeks to identify companies with minimal revenue exposure to the U.S. markets. The Fund will generally hold 50 to 60 securities and seeks low portfolio turnover.
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.
