Fund Description

The fund normally invests primarily in non-U.S. securities, including issuers in emerging markets, with non-U.S. exposure including investments tied economically to a country or region outside the U.S. It normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities of companies with small market capitalizations, defined as those similar to companies in the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index or the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index, and invests primarily in common stocks. It allocates investments across countries and regions and uses fundamental analysis of issuers' financial condition, industry position, and market and economic conditions to select investments.
