Commentary Highlights
September 30, 2025- Markets: Global equity markets collectively advanced through the third quarter of 2025 as tariff anxieties gradually eased, many central banks adopted a more accommodative policy stance, and leadership among technology-related stocks persisted. July’s market tone improved amid clearer trade signals and generally resilient US corporate earnings; August saw equity gains despite episodic volatility around new tariff measures; and September capped the quarter with a US Federal Reserve rate cut that steadied rate-sensitive assets and lifted risk appetite.
- Contributors: Stock selection was a major contributor across most regions, especially in the United States, led by the industrials and health care sectors. Selection was also notably strong in the commodity-sensitive Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
- Detractors: Stock selection detracted from relative return in the continental European consumer discretionary and industrials sectors. Region and sector allocation decisions also detracted.
- Outlook: We believe global macro conditions remain generally constructive for equities, with resilient economic growth, moderate inflation and broadly supportive monetary and fiscal policy. Corporate fundamentals also appear healthy to us, amid improved earnings revisions. We still believe that growth is likely to slow, and goods inflation is likely to rise, against the backdrop of tariff uncertainty, but those forecasts have not yet manifested in broadly weaker corporate guidance

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. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Large-capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors based on market and economic conditions. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. 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. Active and frequent trading may increase a shareholder’s tax liability and transaction costs. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks, and possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. 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.
