International

A focussed international all cap select strategy with a classic, contrarian approach to building long term value. (Formerly the Global ex US Equity Strategy)
Fund Name: Overstone International All Cap Select Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund will attempt to achieve over the long term a total return in excess of that of the MSCI EAFE Index (with net dividends reinvested) through investment in a concentrated portfolio of equity securities, across a mixture of large, medium, and smaller capitalisation companies, selected from the major markets (except the U.S.) and to a lesser extent from some emerging markets, worldwide. The approach is classic contrarian value, based on bottom-up fundamental research of individual companies.

*Launch reflects performance since the I share class was created on 01 October 2009. Performance is calculated net of all fees and expenses and on a total return basis, inclusive of all distributions to unit holders. MSCI EAFE Value index is for comparison purposes only.

The value of all investments and the income from them can go down as well as up; this may be due, in part, to exchange rate fluctuations. Past performance is not a guide to future performance
