Fund Description
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of Japanese companies. The Fund considers a Japanese company to be a company organized under the laws of Japan, for which the principal securities trading market is Japan, or that has a majority of its assets or business in Japan. Investments primarily include common stocks. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Fund may also invest in preferred stocks, warrants and other rights, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, such as convertible bonds and investments in Japan real estate investment trusts or other investment companies (including exchange-traded funds, referred to as ETFs) that invest in equity securities of Japanese companies. The Fund invests in companies regardless of market capitalization. As of January 31, 2024, the average market capitalization of the stocks held by the Fund was $49.12 billion.
While the Fund is considered a diversified mutual fund, it employs a relatively concentrated investment strategy and may hold securities of fewer issuers than other diversified funds.
Using in-depth analysis and on-site research, the Portfolio Managers focus on stocks with a potential “value gap” by screening for companies that they identify as having strong businesses and management, trading at attractive prices. The Portfolio Managers limit the portfolio to what they consider to be their best ideas and maintain a concentrated number of holdings. The Portfolio Managers typically sell an investment when the reasons for buying it no longer apply, such as when they determine that a company’s prospects have changed, that a company’s stock is fully valued by the market, or that the company is beginning to show deteriorating fundamentals. They also may sell an investment if it becomes, in their determination, too large of a position in the Fund.
