Examples of infrastructure assets include transportation assets (such as toll roads, bridges, railroads, airports, and seaports), utility assets (such as electric transmission and distribution lines, gas distribution pipelines, water pipelines and treatment facilities, and sewer facilities), energy assets (such as oil and gas pipelines, storage facilities, and other facilities used for gathering, processing, or transporting hydrocarbon products as well as contracted renewable power assets), and communications assets (such as communications towers, data centers, fiber networks, and satellites). The Subadvisor defines a real estate company as a company that derives at least 50% of its total revenue or earnings from owning, operating, leasing, developing, managing, brokering and/or selling real estate, or has at least 50% of its assets invested in real estate. Companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may include real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), real estate owners, real estate managers, real estate brokers, real estate dealers, and companies with substantial real estate holdings.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in common stock, but may also invest in other equity securities including preferred stock, convertible securities, rights or warrants to buy common stocks, master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), and depositary receipts with characteristics similar to common stock. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in exchange-traded funds or exchange-traded investment products. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings and Rule 144A securities. The Subadvisor may invest in companies with any market capitalization. However, the Subadvisor will generally not invest in companies with a market capitalization of less than $100 million at the time of purchase. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of issuers conducting their business activities in the infrastructure group of industries and more than 25% of its total assets in securities issued by companies principally engaged in the real estate industry.

The Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in securities of issuers in emerging markets countries. The Subadvisor defines emerging market countries as those countries that are included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The Fund may hedge its currency exposure to securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies.

Investment Process: The Subadvisor focuses on investments that generally provide the potential for attractive income growth, protection against inflation, and long-term capital appreciation. The Subadvisor uses systematic, top-down research to evaluate macroeconomic conditions, private market, and capital market trends to identify the relative value of different sectors within infrastructure companies and real estate companies and judge which market sectors offer potentially attractive returns. The Subadvisor uses proprietary analytical techniques to conduct fundamental company analysis, which provides a framework for bottom-up security selection. This approach incorporates several quantitative and qualitative factors, as well as portfolio risk management tools, that aid in evaluating performance characteristics of individual securities independently and relative to each other. The Subadvisor’s in-house valuation process examines several factors, including the company’s management and strategy, the stability and growth potential of cash flows and dividends, the location of the company’s assets, the company’s capital structure, and risk factors including regulatory environment and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations.

The Subadvisor includes ESG considerations in its analysis to help identify companies that balance the needs of all stakeholders in their communities and address ESG issues. ESG factors are assessed based on internal research and information from an independent global provider of ESG and corporate governance research.
