Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. The information technology sector led markets amid enthusiasm over artificial intelligence. Amid challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 22% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). In Denmark, the healthcare sector contributed to the Fund’s performance, as pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks gained amid positive clinical trials and enthusiasm over GLP-1 weight loss drugs. What detracted from performance? Stocks in France, which comprise about 13% of the Fund on average, detracted the most from the Fund’s return during the reporting period, most notably within the consumer discretionary sector as consumers continue to curb their spending on luxury goods. Additionally, Hong Kong stocks suffered from malaise related to economic weakness in China during the reporting period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. With challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June, while the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank left interest rates unchanged. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. However, market sentiment swung late in the period amid a shift away from technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Stocks from the United States, which represent about 59% of the Fund on average, strongly contributed to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Among U.S. stocks, the information technology sector contributed the most, as the hype over artificial intelligence (“AI”) continued to benefit information technology companies. The U.S. semiconductor industry contributed significantly, as the technology is crucial to the ongoing buildout of AI, and expanded tariffs limited semiconductor imports from outside the U.S. In Japan, industrial stocks contributed to the Fund’s return, as several strategic agreements involving Japanese machinery companies were initiated during the reporting period. What detracted from performance? Stocks from Germany detracted from the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Weakness in the consumer discretionary sector stemmed from sluggish demand and production declines negatively affecting German carmakers.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. The European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June while the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016, raising its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Higher interest rates have worked against smaller-capitalization names, causing them to underperform their larger peers. What contributed to performance? Japanese small-capitalization stocks led the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japanese stocks, which comprise approximately 34% of the Fund on average, have benefited from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. The industrials sector was helped by construction manufacturers on increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. Regional banking stocks positively impacted the Fund’s return following the Bank of Japan’s gradual move away from negative interest rates, which helped boost net interest income. The United Kingdom comprises approximately 15% of the Fund on average, also contributed to the Fund’s return. Toward the end of the reporting period, news of the Labour Party’s election win helped smaller-capitalization stocks, which rose on hopes of improved economic growth. What detracted from performance? Germany’s industrials sector declined during the reporting period, detracting from the Fund’s returns. Added to higher energy costs, the sector also felt the effects of geopolitical strife, with shipment delays stemming from both the Russia/Ukraine war and the crisis in the Middle East. In addition to cooling economic data, French small caps lagged due to political uncertainty spurred by a snap Parliamentary election.

Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? The United States is the largest component of the Fund, comprising approximately 63% on average during the reporting period, and was also the most significant driver of the Fund’s return. Performance was largely driven by a handful of dominant information technology companies that have been able to rapidly innovate, capture significant market share, and generate substantial profits. Among these stocks, those that produce semiconductors were the most significant beneficiaries of excitement for AI and the U.S. government’s efforts to increase domestic chipmaking capacity. The financials sector was helped by solid earnings results from wealth management firms. What detracted from performance? Chinese stocks were modest detractors from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. The country’s economic struggles continued, and equities have been negatively impacted by overall weak domestic demand. Electric vehicle manufacturers were notably weak as tariffs were increased by the United States and the European Union.

This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). In the United Kingdom, the industrials sector was helped by increased government actions aimed at boosting manufacturing in the country. What detracted from performance? Stocks in New Zealand modestly detracted from the Fund’s return during the reporting period as the country suffered from economic weakness, negatively impacting stocks in the industrial sector. In Ireland, consumer staples stocks declined amid squeezing profit margins.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period.

Amid challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 16% of the Fund on average, meaningfully contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Financials stocks benefited from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. Additionally, the industrials sector was supported by a weaker yen, higher exports, and increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. In Taiwan, equities, particularly semiconductor manufacturers, benefited from excitement over increased AI demand. These companies provide the backbone for the complex calculations required for AI algorithms. What detracted from performance? Detractors from the Fund’s return during the reporting period were driven by Chinese stocks as the country continued to face economic weakness. Chinese automobile manufacturers faced challenges from increasing import tariffs from the United States and the European Union. Amid slowing retail sales, broadline retailers, those that offer a wide range of consumer discretionary merchandise to end consumers, also hindered performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Asian equities rose during the reporting period but underperformed the broader markets amid weakening growth in China and a stronger U.S. dollar. Japanese equities meaningfully outperformed their Asian peers, supported by central bank actions and improved corporate governance. The Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Conversely, in China, weak economic growth led to substantial government stimulus packages intended to boost retail spending and consumer confidence. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 68% of the Fund on average, overwhelmingly contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. The country’s stock market accelerated to new highs, benefiting from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. Banking stocks positively impacted the Fund’s return as rising interest rates contributed to higher yields on loans and bonds held by banks. The industrials sector was supported by a weaker yen, higher exports, and increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. The Japanese government’s policies aimed at promoting digital transformation and innovation in technology sectors also boosted the performance of information technology stocks. What detracted from performance? Stocks in Hong Kong detracted from the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Given Hong Kong’s status as a special administrative region of China, stocks were more susceptible to China’s economic slowdown and regulatory scrutiny. The financials stocks declined amid tightened regulations and deteriorating U.S.-China relations, while slumping property values hindered the real estate sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. The information technology sector led markets amid enthusiasm over artificial intelligence. With challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 12% of the Fund on average, strongly contributed to the Fund’s return. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. In Denmark, the healthcare sector contributed to the Fund’s performance, as pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks gained amid positive clinical trials and enthusiasm over GLP-1 weight loss drugs. What detracted from performance? Stocks in France detracted the most from the Fund’s return during the reporting period, most notably within the consumer discretionary sector as consumers continue to curb their spending on luxury goods.

Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 23% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs during the reporting period, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). In the United Kingdom, which comprises about 15% of the Fund on average, the financials sector was helped by solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates. What detracted from performance? Hong Kong stocks suffered from malaise related to economic weakness in China during the reporting period. As a special administrative region of China, many stocks are dual listed in Hong Kong and China and are more susceptible to China’s recent economic slowdown and regulatory scrutiny. Hong Kong’s financials sector was particularly impacted by slowing Chinese growth, while slumping property values hindered the real estate sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Emerging market equities rose during the reporting period but underperformed the broader markets as geopolitical uncertainty and a stronger U.S. dollar weighed on performance. China’s economic struggles continued, with the housing sector facing particular challenges due to a major property company defaulting and falling home prices. Overall weak domestic demand has led to substantial stimulus packages by the Chinese government in an attempt to boost retail spending and consumer confidence. The major policy interventions enacted by the Chinese government helped to ease investor concerns, but equities still underperformed the broader markets during the period. What contributed to performance? The financials sector modestly contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period, as stimulus measures by the Chinese government sought to increase consumer confidence. News that a Chinese sovereign wealth fund increased its holdings in the country’s four major lenders also benefited those stocks. What detracted from performance? Large-cap Chinese equities experienced negative performance for the reporting period, pulled down by weak domestic economic growth and increasing regulatory actions from the Chinese government. Automobile stocks were among the largest detractors from the Fund’s return, particularly electric vehicle (“E.V.”) manufacturers. Stocks of E.V. makers fell sharply as the United States, the European Union, and Latin America increased tariffs on Chinese imports, and fears grew that more countries would do the same. The threat of sanctions also negatively impacted the information technology sector, as did intensifying price wars within China’s artificial intelligence services.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. However, stocks underperformed their larger-capitalization peers due to increasing risk aversion, their vulnerability to higher interest rates, and the war in Ukraine. As inflation began to move closer to central bank targets, several countries began lowering borrowing costs, beginning with Switzerland and Sweden. In a major turning point in monetary policy, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. This was seen as a positive catalyst for small-capitalization stocks as higher borrowing costs have impacted consumers and businesses. What contributed to performance? Stocks in the United Kingdom, which comprise approximately 30% of the Fund on average, contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. In the financials sector, banks benefited from solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates, while performance fee income helped asset managers. Sweden’s economic outlook improved after the Riksbank became one of the first central banks to start cutting interest rates, helping sectors that benefit from policy easing. What detracted from performance? In Germany, stock performance was hindered by economic challenges, including weak growth and slipping business expectations during the reporting period. In particular, the materials sector was strained by shipment delays from the Russia/Ukraine war and the crisis in the Middle East. Healthcare stocks in Germany declined as several companies reported gloomy outlooks. In addition to cooling economic data, stocks in France declined amid political uncertainty spurred by a snap Parliamentary election.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. Performance was led by information technology companies amid enthusiasm over artificial intelligence, resulting in large-capitalization stocks outperforming their smaller peers. Given challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprised about 27% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs during the reporting period, and financial firms were helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. In Canada, which represented approximately 10% of the Fund on average, materials stocks contributed to performance, largely due to increased gold exports. The country is one of the world’s leading gold producers and exporters and benefited as gold prices reached all-time highs. What detracted from performance? Stocks in Hong Kong detracted from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Given Hong Kong’s status as a special administrative region of China, financials stocks were negatively impacted by increased regulatory oversight in an attempt to prevent risks that could spread to all segments of the markets.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? While global equities rose for the reporting period, small-capitalization stocks underperformed their larger-capitalization peers due to increasing risk aversion and their vulnerability to high inflation, rising interest rates, a slowing economy, and the war in Ukraine. In Europe, concerns grew over slowing economic growth and the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate, a major turning point in monetary policy, as higher borrowing costs have negatively impacted both consumers and businesses. Conversely, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016. What contributed to performance? Japanese small-capitalization stocks led the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japanese stocks comprise approximately 34% of the Fund on average, and benefited from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. The industrials sector was helped by construction manufacturers on increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. Regional banking stocks positively impacted the Fund’s return following the Bank of Japan’s gradual move away from negative interest rates. The United Kingdom comprises approximately 15% of the Fund on average, also contributed. Toward the end of the reporting period, news of the Labour Party’s election win helped smaller-capitalization stocks, which rose on hopes of improved economic growth. What detracted from performance? Germany’s industrials sector declined during the reporting period. Added to higher energy costs, the sector also felt the effects of geopolitical strife, with shipment delays stemming from both the Russia/Ukraine war and the crisis in the Middle East. In addition to cooling economic data, French small caps lagged due to political uncertainty spurred by a snap Parliamentary election.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. U.S. stocks powered markets higher, driven by the enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (“AI”), which was particularly evident in the information technology sector. Sales of electric vehicles (“EV”) increased in 2023; however, these manufacturers suffered from intensified competition and escalating price wars. Market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Switzerland modestly contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period as a global technology company that manufactures factory robots and electric motors for ships advanced. The firm reported better-than-expected first-quarter profit and signaled faster growth in the coming months. A French automaker with a long history and a dedicated EV platform gained after the company canceled plans to spin off its dedicated electric vehicle and software business. What detracted from performance? Amid slowing profitability and increased competition, companies that make EVs and firms that supply components to these manufacturers slumped. U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 31% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, were the largest detractor from performance. Reports of self-driving safety issues from the world’s largest EV manufacturer also hindered the performance of the industry. While China is the world’s largest market for EVs, these automobile manufacturers declined as the United States, the European Union, and Latin America increased tariffs on Chinese imports and fears grew that more countries would do the same.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Asian equities rose during the reporting period but underperformed the broader markets amid weakening growth in China and a stronger U.S. dollar. In China, weak economic growth led to substantial government stimulus packages intended to boost retail spending and consumer confidence. The reelection of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the formation of a coalition government helped dispel market concerns over the direction of equity reforms in the country. What contributed to performance? Optimism over economic growth, increased liquidity, and solid corporate earnings helped Indian equities contribute to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Automotive stocks gained on solid sales data and positive market sentiment. Given that automakers are interest-rate sensitive and higher rates increase car loan costs, these stocks gained on hopes the Reserve Bank of India had finished raising rates. India’s industrials sector rose amid a spending push on infrastructure. Information technology stocks in Taiwan, particularly semiconductor manufacturers, benefited from excitement over increased demand for artificial intelligence (“AI”). These companies provide the backbone for the complex calculations required for AI algorithms. What detracted from performance? Stocks in China modestly detracted from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period, with the country comprising about 31% of the Fund on average. China’s economic struggles continued as trade wars and tariffs from the United States and the European Union weighed on the performance of several industries, including automobiles and broadline retail companies. Given Hong Kong’s status as a special administrative region of China, stocks were more susceptible to China’s economic slowdown and regulatory scrutiny. In particular, slumping property values hindered Hong Kong’s real estate sector.

What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 24% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs following ongoing corporate reforms and as the Bank of Japan ended its negative interest rate policy. This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). In the United Kingdom, which comprises about 15% of the Fund on average, the financials sector was helped by solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates. What detracted from performance? Hong Kong stocks suffered from malaise related to economic weakness in China during the reporting period. As a special administrative region of China, many stocks are dual listed in Hong Kong and China, making them susceptible to China’s recent economic slowdown and increased regulatory scrutiny. Hong Kong’s financials sector was particularly impacted by slowing Chinese growth, while slumping property values hindered the real estate sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. As inflation moved closer to central bank targets, several countries began lowering borrowing costs, beginning with Switzerland and Sweden. In a major turning point in monetary policy, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Stocks in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), which comprise approximately 23% of the Fund on average, contributed meaningfully to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. In the financials sector, U.K. banks benefited from solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates, while performance fee income helped asset managers. Stocks in the U.K. industrials sector were helped by increased government actions aimed at boosting manufacturing in the country. In Denmark, the healthcare sector contributed to the Fund’s performance, as pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks gained amid positive clinical trials and enthusiasm over GLP-1 weight loss drugs. What detracted from performance? On a country level, there were no detractors from the Fund’s performance for the reporting period. However, consumer discretionary and consumer staples stocks hindered performance. Amid economic uncertainty and rising raw material costs, luxury stocks across Europe were notable detractors, as a shift in consumer preferences and eroding confidence caused weakness among higher-end retailers. These same factors also affected beverage stocks within the consumer staples sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank left rates on hold during the reporting period as the central bank sought greater confidence in slowing inflationary pressures. As inflation measures became more subdued, expectations increased for interest rate cuts in 2024. However, market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 68% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, contributed the most to the Fund’s return. Biotechnology firms led healthcare stocks, powered by approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, positive clinical trials, and promising pipelines that helped to boost revenue. Pharmaceutical companies advanced amid ongoing strong sales of their blockbuster drugs. A Danish pharmaceutical firm gained following positive clinical data from for its experimental daily pill for obesity and type 2 diabetes. What detracted from performance? A specialty chemical company within the materials sector in the United States was a large detractor from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. The firm faced decreasing revenue following the expected ramp down of COVID-19 testing for U.S. students. In Germany, stocks of biotechnology companies declined amid a shift away from COVID-19 treatments and court proceedings over intellectual property rights.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. Sustainable and renewable energy stocks declined during the period as they faced growing competition from fossil fuel companies and reduced subsidies. Market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Germany is a long-time leader in renewable energy and environmental technologies and has ambitious renewable targets. During the reporting period, an energy company that received a multi-billion-dollar deal in project-related guarantees backed by the German government contributed to the Fund’s return. The firm is a maker of gas and wind turbines as well as large converter stations, vital equipment for the country’s efforts to gradually phase out fossil fuels. Also contributing to the Fund’s return was Europe’s top operator of energy networks, as the firm raised its five-year investment target. What detracted from performance? China comprised 19% of the Fund on average during the reporting period and was also the largest detractor from the Fund’s return. Electric vehicle manufacturers fell sharply as the United States, the European Union, and Latin America increased tariffs on Chinese imports, and fears grew that more countries would do the same. The sanctions also negatively impacted semiconductor manufacturer companies in the information technology sector. A Korean electronics components company fell due to declining demand for consumer electronics, supply chain disruptions, and economic uncertainties impacting global markets.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period even as geopolitical strife and trade tensions increased. Driven by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, information technology stocks propelled to record highs. While the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate, the Bank of Japan increased interest rates. Japan’s central bank also engaged in buying the Japanese yen in open markets to pause the currency’s decline. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 23% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). In the United Kingdom, which comprises about 15% of the Fund on average, the financials sector was helped by solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates. What detracted from performance? Hong Kong stocks suffered from malaise related to economic weakness in China during the reporting period. As a special administrative region of China, many stocks are dual listed in Hong Kong and China and are more susceptible to China’s recent economic slowdown and regulatory scrutiny. Hong Kong’s financials sector was particularly impacted by slowing Chinese growth, while slumping property values hindered the real estate sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Emerging market equities rose during the reporting period but underperformed the broader markets as geopolitical uncertainty and a stronger U.S. dollar weighed on performance. China’s economic struggles continued, with the housing sector facing particular challenges due to a major property company defaulting and falling home prices. Overall weak domestic demand has led to substantial stimulus packages by the Chinese government in an attempt to boost retail spending and consumer confidence. These major policy interventions enacted by the Chinese government helped to ease investor concerns, but equities still underperformed the broader markets during the period. What contributed to performance? Stocks in China’s burgeoning renewable energy sector modestly contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Firms that supply hydropower generation helped to boost clean energy generation amid recent heavy deluges in several provinces. What detracted from performance? Domestic Chinese equities declined during the reporting period, pulled down by weak domestic economic growth and increasing regulatory actions from the Chinese government. Consumer staples stocks were among the largest detractors from the Fund’s return, hindered by food, beverage, and tobacco companies. Notably, decreasing consumer spending impacted premier alcoholic beverage stocks, which declined during the reporting period. In the information technology sector, semiconductor companies were negatively affected by threats of more trade sanctions and tariffs against China from the United States and other countries. Among stocks in the consumer discretionary sector, a push by several U.S. lawmakers to ban lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles worked against these stocks.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. Global carbon dioxide emissions reached a record high in 2023 due to continuing usage of fossil fuels, a return to pre-pandemic travel and transportation levels, and Canada’s extreme wildfire season. However, despite this rise, emissions are seeing a structural slowdown. Versus growth in advanced economies, emissions declined in 2023 helped by strong renewables deployment, a growing trend of switching from coal to gas in the United States, milder weather, and weaker industrial production in some countries. The 2023 United Nations Conference on Climate Change called on governments to speed up the transition away from fossil fuels to renewables in their next round of climate commitments. What contributed to performance? The United States is the largest component of the Fund comprising approximately 62% on average during the reporting period and was also the most significant driver of the Fund’s return. A handful of dominant information technology companies that have been able to innovate rapidly captured significant market share and generated substantial profits-dominated returns. The financials sector was helped by solid earnings results. What detracted from performance? Stocks in China were a modest detractor from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. In the consumer discretionary sector, automotive stocks declined as they faced increased tariffs from the United States and the European Union. Shares of interactive media firms declined on falling revenue growth.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. The information technology sector led markets amid enthusiasm over artificial intelligence. With challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Stocks with momentum characteristics advanced across regions during the reporting period. As markets consistently trended upward, the momentum factor strongly contributed to returns. Japanese equities, which comprise about 39% of the Fund on average, meaningfully contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japan’s stock market accelerated to new highs, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. In Denmark, the healthcare sector contributed to the Fund’s performance, as pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks gained amid positive clinical trials and enthusiasm over GLP-1 weight loss drugs. What detracted from performance? Stocks in Hong Kong detracted from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Given Hong Kong’s status as a special administrative region of China, financials stocks were negatively impacted by increased regulatory oversight in an attempt to prevent risks that could spread to all segments of the markets.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. U.S. stocks powered markets higher, driven by the enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (“AI”), which was particularly evident in the information technology sector. However, market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 62% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, contributed the most to the Fund’s return. Within the information technology sector, semiconductor manufacturers that enable the rapid advancement in technology and the creation of compact, powerful, and efficient devices advanced. Also contributing were software application companies that provide platforms and solutions to manage data analytics, supply chains, and inventory operations. Information technology stocks in Taiwan also contributed to the Fund’s returns, amid a growing need for semiconductors and passive components. What detracted from performance? Stocks in China’s information technology sector were the largest detractors of the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Electric vehicle makers declined amid decreasing profitability and geopolitical tensions, including increased tariffs from the United States, European Union, and Latin America. Canadian stocks were hindered by the recent weak performance of lithium, a key ingredient in rechargeable batteries for phones, hybrid cars, electric bikes, and large-scale storage batteries. The fall in lithium prices was due to slowing demand for electric vehicles and a broader economic slowdown in China.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. The European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June while the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016, raising its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 15% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. The country’s stock market accelerated to new highs during the reporting period, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). Indian stocks contributed, helped by growing market confidence, an infrastructure boom, and positive economic data. In the industrials sector, automotive stocks benefited from record-high car sales. What detracted from performance? Detractors from the Fund’s return during the reporting period were driven by Chinese stocks, which represent approximately 8% of the Fund on average. In particular, a push by several U.S. lawmakers to ban lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles worked against these firms. In Hong Kong, casino stocks declined amid tightened regulations and deteriorating U.S.-China relations.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. While the war in Ukraine continued to weigh on European equities, the first half of the period saw the financials sector benefit from wider interest rate margins as interest rates remained high. As inflation moved closer to central bank targets, several countries began lowering borrowing costs, beginning with Switzerland and Sweden. In a major turning point in monetary policy, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. During the second half of the reporting period, the performance of banks was helped by the prospects of lower interest rates and the hopes of increased loan demand. What contributed to performance? The United Kingdom (“U.K.”) comprised approximately 23% of the Fund on average and was a large driver of the Fund’s return during the reporting period. U.K. banks benefited from robust earnings supported by higher interest rates as well as strong liquidity positions. While Italian banks initially declined on news of the Italian Windfall Tax for Banks, a one-time tax that applies to Italian banks and foreign bank branches, stocks quickly recovered. Bank performance was boosted by substantially higher lending income, and Italian banks made significant strides in cost-cutting. Additionally, earnings for Italian financial firms were supported by expanded fees from wealth management units. German financial firms, which comprised approximately 14% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, also benefited from solid earnings and positive future guidance. What detracted from performance? For the reporting period ended July 31, 2024, there were no material detractors from the Fund’s performance.

U.S. stocks powered markets higher, driven by the enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (“AI”), which was particularly evident in the information technology sector. However, market sentiment swung late in the reporting period amid a shift away from information technology stocks as uncertainty surrounding economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election grew. Adding to the volatility was a technical outage stemming from a major cybersecurity supplier that impacted a wide variety of companies and prompted swift analyst downgrades of the company’s stock, sending shares tumbling. What contributed to performance? U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 51% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, contributed to the Fund’s return. Increased usage and demand for AI reverberated across the information technology sector, benefiting semiconductor manufacturers that provide the backbone for the complex calculations required for AI algorithms. Application software firms gained as they provided AI solutions to increase productivity and accelerate business outcomes. What detracted from performance? Stocks of companies producing or using robotics and AI applications detracted from the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Geopolitical tensions, weak domestic demand, increased regulatory oversight, and the threat of additional trade sanctions and tariffs weighed on Chinese stocks. Within the media and entertainment industry, the threat of proposed rules designed to reduce spending and rewards in online gaming weighed on returns, although these regulations have yet to be enacted. Among interactive media and services firms, stocks of social media and Internet search companies declined. In France, high debt, low investor confidence, and a failed sale of a flagging business area sent the stock of an information technology consulting company lower.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. U.S. stocks powered markets higher, driven by the enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (“AI”), which was particularly evident in the information technology sector. A handful of companies dominated markets due to their ability to rapidly innovate, capture significant market share, and generate substantial profits. However, market sentiment swung late in the reporting period amid a shift away from information technology stocks as uncertainty surrounding economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election grew. Adding to the volatility was a technical outage stemming from a major cybersecurity supplier that impacted a wide variety of companies and prompted swift analyst downgrades of the company’s stock, sending shares tumbling. What contributed to performance? U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 72% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, contributed the most to the Fund’s return. As more and more transactions are performed online, threats of financial fraud, unauthorized access, and identity theft have made cybersecurity essential. U.S. cybersecurity stocks that analyze threats and provide real-time protection gained due to the increased need for protection from cyber threats and unauthorized access to data and computer networks. Among U.S. industrials stocks, those that provide technology and services to support government transformation and national security missions benefited performance. Israeli systems software and solution providers also gained, as the country is a leader in technological innovation and spends a high percentage of its gross domestic product (“GDP”) on research, development, and innovation. What detracted from performance? On the downside, Canadian stocks detracted from the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Falling revenue due to increased competition weighed heavily on the stock of a software provider.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. U.S. equities led markets, propelled by the information technology sector and enthusiasm over artificial intelligence (“AI”). Amid challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June, while the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank left interest rates unchanged. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? The United States is the largest component of the Fund, comprising approximately 75% on average during the reporting period, and was also the most significant driver of the Fund’s return. Performance was largely driven by a handful of dominant information technology companies that have been able to rapidly innovate, capture significant market share, and generate substantial profits. Among these stocks, those that produce semiconductors were the most significant beneficiaries of excitement for AI and the U.S. government’s efforts to increase domestic chipmaking capacity. The financials sector was helped by solid earnings results from wealth management firms as well as banks benefiting from the prospect of future rate cuts. What detracted from performance? Stocks in Hong Kong minimally detracted from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Given Hong Kong’s status as a special administrative region of China, financials stocks were negatively impacted by increased regulatory oversight in an attempt to prevent risks that could spread to all segments of the markets. Additionally, China’s prolonged property crisis has weighed on investment activity for financial firms.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global stocks higher for the reporting period. The information technology sector led markets amid enthusiasm over artificial intelligence. With challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June. However, the Bank of Japan exited its zero-interest rate policy that it had held since 2016 and raised its short-term policy rate to 0.25%. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? International developed markets were impacted by geopolitical tensions and high interest rates, as central banks continued to attempt to tame high inflation. In this environment, stocks with value-oriented characteristics advanced. Stocks in Japan, which represented approximately 33% of the Fund on average, led the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japanese stocks have benefited from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. The industrials sector was helped by construction manufacturers on increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. In the United Kingdom, which comprised about 16% of the Fund on average, the financials sector was helped by solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates. What detracted from performance? In Germany, stock performance was hindered by economic challenges, including weak growth and slipping business expectations during the reporting period. In particular, healthcare stocks declined as several companies reported gloomy outlooks.

Amid challenging economic conditions, the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate by 0.25% in June.

Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise about 22% of the Fund on average, meaningfully contributed to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. The country’s stock market benefited from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. Banking stocks were helped as rising interest rates contributed to higher yields on loans and bonds held. The industrials sector was supported by a weaker yen, higher exports, and increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. Financial stocks in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) benefited from solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates, while performance fee income helped asset managers. What detracted from performance? Hong Kong stocks suffered from malaise related to economic weakness in China during the reporting period. As a special administrative region of China, many stocks are dual listed in Hong Kong and China and are more susceptible to China’s recent economic slowdown and regulatory scrutiny. Hong Kong’s financials sector was particularly impacted by slowing Chinese growth, while slumping property values hindered the real estate sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. Higher interest rates have worked against smaller-capitalization names, causing them to underperform their larger peers. However, market sentiment swung late in the period amid a shift away from technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Stocks with exposure to value advanced for the reporting period, as the current geopolitical and economic landscape has moved global risk appetites lower, accelerating the rotation from cyclicals stocks into defensive/growth compounders with our cyclicals versus defensive pair down. Momentum also contributed to performance. Japanese small-capitalization stocks led the Fund’s return during the reporting period. Japanese stocks, which comprise approximately 25% of the Fund on average, have benefited from resilient economic growth, corporate structural reforms, and a return to monetary policy normalization. The industrials sector was helped by construction manufacturers on increased demand for factory construction and large-scale redevelopment projects. In the United Kingdom, which comprises about 14% of the Fund on average, the financials sector was helped by solid lending income attributed to higher interest rates. What detracted from performance? Stocks in Germany detracted from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period, most notably within the materials sector. Hong Kong stocks were negatively impacted by economic weakness in China during the reporting period.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period even as geopolitical strife and trade tensions increased. Market strength was driven by enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, propelling information technology stocks to record highs. While the European Central Bank cut its primary lending rate, the Bank of Japan increased interest rates. Japan’s central bank also engaged in buying the Japanese yen in open markets to pause the currency’s decline. Market sentiment swung late in the period, shifting away from information technology stocks amid growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Japanese equities, which comprise approximately 15% of the Fund on average, contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. The country’s stock market accelerated to new highs, helped by ongoing corporate reforms and the Bank of Japan ending its negative interest rate policy. This interest rate increase helped Japanese banks increase lending profits and net interest margins (the difference between interest revenue and interest expenses of a financial firm). Indian stocks contributed, helped by growing market confidence, an infrastructure boom, and positive economic data. In the industrials sector, automotive stocks benefited from record-high car sales. What detracted from performance? Detractors from the Fund’s return during the reporting period were driven by Chinese stocks, which represent approximately 8% of the Fund on average. In particular, a push by several U.S. lawmakers to ban lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles worked against these firms. In Hong Kong, casino stocks declined amid tightened regulations and deteriorating U.S.-China relations.

Japanese insurance companies also contributed to performance, after several companies announced stock buybacks. In Denmark, stocks within the apparel accessories and luxury goods segment of the consumer discretionary sector contributed to performance. What detracted from performance? Hong Kong stocks suffered from malaise related to economic weakness in China during the reporting period. As a special administrative region of China, many stocks are dual listed in Hong Kong and China and are more susceptible to China’s recent economic slowdown and regulatory scrutiny. Hong Kong’s financials sector was particularly impacted by slowing Chinese growth, while slumping property values hindered the real estate sector.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank left rates on hold during the reporting period as the central bank sought greater confidence in slowing inflationary pressures. As inflation measures became more subdued, expectations increased for interest rate cuts in 2024. However, market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 80% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, contributed the most to the Fund’s return. Approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy benefited biotechnology firms. Firms that develop medicines for life-threatening diseases or unmet medical needs gained on announcements of strategic partnerships and licensing deals. What detracted from performance? Notable detractors from the Fund’s performance during the reporting period included a Swedish biotechnology firm that declined amid management changes that negatively impacted investor confidence. Several medical device equipment companies in the United States also declined. A company focused on skin regeneration fell on news of proposals from private U.S. health insurers that would reduce coverage for biological wounds. Another company cut its outlook for the year as the U.S. spinal cord stimulation market has failed to recover to pre-pandemic levels.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform last year? Slowing inflationary pressures and hopes of interest rate cuts drove global equities higher for the reporting period. U.S. stocks powered markets higher, driven by the enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (“AI”), which was particularly evident in the information technology sector. A handful of companies dominated markets due to their ability to rapidly innovate, capture significant market share, and generate substantial profits. However, market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? U.S. stocks, which represented approximately 77% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, contributed the most to the Funds’s return, led by information technology stocks. Increased usage and demand for AI reverberated across the information technology sector. Semiconductor manufacturers benefited, as they provide the backbone for the complex calculations required for AI algorithms. Among technology hardware stocks, firms that provide data-driven networking solutions, particularly in data centers and cloud environments, also benefited from the increased AI usage. Memory solution providers also gained, given the substantial requirements needed to run generative AI applications. Outside of the United States, semiconductor firms in Taiwan also advanced on strong demand for the chips that are needed for mobile phones. What detracted from performance? There were only minimal detractors to the Fund’s performance during the reporting period. Several application software and systems software stocks declined as they faced increased competition, lower-than-expected revenue, and reduced future guidance.

However, market sentiment swung late in the one-year period amid a shift away from information technology stocks and growing uncertainty about economic growth, geopolitics, and the upcoming U.S. presidential election. What contributed to performance? Indian equities contributed the most to the Fund’s return during the reporting period. The country overtook China as the world’s most populous country and has benefited from strong economic growth. In the country’s consumer discretionary sector, companies that provide delivery services advanced amid solid financial performance and an increasing customer base. Information technology stocks in Israel also advanced, including those that provide workplace management project services and digital solutions. What detracted from performance? As companies started to require employees to return to the office, global stocks of companies focused on working and studying from home detracted from the Fund's performance. Chinese stocks, which represented approximately 13% of the Fund on average during the reporting period, detracted from the Fund’s return. E-commerce firms and those that support them declined amid growing concerns about China’s economic health and the state of the country’s property sector. In Germany, a major global food deliverer slumped on news of antitrust violations and fines totaling over $400 million.
