This fund offers investors a comprehensive and diversified core holding in international equities, providing broad exposure to companies across both developed and emerging markets while specifically excluding the United States. It serves as an excellent tool for investors seeking to diversify a US-centric portfolio and capture growth opportunities from around the globe. The strategy is not passively managed; instead, it employs a systematic, research-driven approach that is designed to efficiently capture the global equity market, emphasizing securities with higher expected returns based on decades of academic research.
The investment process is built on the belief that certain security characteristics, or 'dimensions,' point to higher expected returns over the long term. Consequently, the portfolio is deliberately tilted towards companies that exhibit these traits, namely smaller market capitalizations, lower relative prices (value), and higher profitability. While it maintains broad diversification across thousands of stocks and numerous countries to mitigate concentration risk, this factor-based tilting aims to deliver returns superior to those of a traditional market-capitalization-weighted index. This disciplined, active approach provides a potential for outperformance while maintaining the benefits of a low-cost, diversified core equity strategy.
Designed for long-term capital appreciation, this particular share class is structured to be accumulating. This means that any dividends paid by the underlying companies are automatically reinvested back into the fund rather than being distributed to shareholders. This feature facilitates the power of compounding, as returns are generated on the reinvested capital, potentially enhancing overall growth over time. It is an efficient structure for investors focused on building wealth, particularly within tax-advantaged accounts where dividend distributions would not trigger taxable events.
