Global Perspective. Disiplined Approach.
Over 30 years of innovation, insight, and rigorous analysis
Innovation, progress, and global change are reshaping economies, industries, and the way we live. Investors can see where the world is heading and want to participate in the opportunities it creates. But identifying trends is only the beginning. The real challenge is turning vision into disciplined, long-term growth. That’s where we come in.
We believe smart investing requires balance: imagination and foresight paired with careful analysis and rigorous research. Our team uncovers global themes that can drive progress while applying meticulous fundamental research to build portfolios with conviction.
Across our ETFs and mutual funds, we apply this dual approach to construct actively managed, high-conviction strategies that are both forward-looking and grounded in proven fundamentals. Our goal is to capture tomorrow’s opportunities with the discipline that has guided successful investing for generations.

Our Fund Morningstar Ratings™
Ratings based on Morningstar’s Risk Adjusted Return
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating,” is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

Our Themes
We put our collective brains together to identify what we believe are four key mega trends that are driving and shaping our era of rapid and profound change.
INNOVATION
Innovation in the form of technology and business models powers economic growth and profits. Innovative companies have a competitive edge and are drivers of rapid change.
ASIA
The Asian region is an economic dynamo playing an ever-larger role in the production of goods and services. Its growing middle-class consumer society is another plus.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Positive political and economic forces are working to solve some of today’s most profound challenges such as climate change and social equality.
DEMOGRAPHICS
The population in developed markets is slowing, while it’s rising in emerging markets. Changes in demographics will have a huge impact on savings rates and economic growth around the globe.
