Manager and Commentary
Commentary Highlights
June 30, 2025- Markets: Emerging market (EM) equities rose in the second quarter of 2025. Geopolitical tensions were a mainstay during the quarter. Uncertainties persisted due to a lack of concrete tariff deals between the United States and most countries. The conflict between Israel and Iran escalated, this time involving the United States.
- Contributors: By country, allocations in South Korea (overweight), China (underweight) and Saudi Arabia (lack of exposure) pushed them to top contributor status relative to the benchmark. Stock selection in South Korea provided an additional source of relative strength.
- Detractors: An off-benchmark allocation in the United States was a notable cause of relative detraction at the country level. Other relative detractors at the country level included Hong Kong and Taiwan, due to stock selection.
- Outlook: EM equities are poised at a pivotal junction with geopolitical tensions hovering in the backdrop. However, equities globally are facing pressure from geopolitical events as well. Our bottom-up approach aims to potentially capitalize on the specific dynamics of the equity markets in which we are invested, rather than merely reacting to global uncertainties.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Risks
All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. To the extent the portfolio invests in a concentration of certain securities, regions or industries, it is subject to increased volatility. The managers’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies may limit the types and number of investments available and, as a result, may forgo favorable market opportunities or underperform strategies that are not subject to such criteria. There is no guarantee that the strategy's ESG directives will be successful or will result in better performance. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.
Important Information
Most funds offer multiple share classes. Share classes are subject to different fees and expenses, which will affect their performance.
Certain share classes are only offered to eligible investors as stated in the prospectus. Different minimums may apply to clients of certain service agents. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels. See the Fund's prospectus for additional information.
