Wellington Emerging Markets Local Equity Fund EUR S AcH

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term total returns. The Investment Manager will actively manage the Fund, seeking to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”) and achieve the objective, primarily through investment in equity securities of companies that are either located in emerging markets, or conduct substantial business in emerging markets as described below, and by focusing on companies that derive or expect to derive the majority of their total revenues or profits from such emerging market countries. The Investment Manager seeks to generate excess returns over the long-term by identifying companies whose financial performance it expects to exceed expectations. This process incorporates top-down elements, such as macroeconomic and sector analysis, within a bottom-up portfolio construction process. The Fund invests opportunistically in companies with different styles (e.g. value, growth) and market capitalization.
