ABOUT THIS FUND
JIDE is an actively managed investment vehicle that primarily focuses on large and mid-sized companies operating in developed economies outside of North America, such as those in Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom. While its portfolio often mirrors the composition of the MSCI EAFE Index, it operates without rigid constraints regarding investment style or sector and retains the flexibility to invest in securities denominated in various major global currencies. The fund's strategy involves constructing a concentrated "best ideas" portfolio, where the adviser integrates in-depth company-specific fundamental analysis with quantitative insights. This rigorous process aims to pinpoint businesses demonstrating robust financial health, positive future prospects, and attractive valuations. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are also incorporated into the investment decision-making. JIDE may utilize derivatives, predominantly exchange-traded futures, and possesses the adaptability to shift capital allocations across countries, sectors, or security types in response to prevailing market conditions and future outlooks. Holdings may be sold if underlying company fundamentals weaken, valuations become excessive, or more compelling investment opportunities arise.
