Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 33.33%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which returned 33.57% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”) and Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”).
GSAM Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by several factors, including U.S.-China diplomatic developments, optimism around AI, increasing domestic retail flows into equity markets, and selected government initiatives in China aimed at supporting high-tech sectors. At the country level, holdings in China contributed to performance, while holdings in India detracted. From a sector perspective, holdings in information technology contributed to performance, whereas consumer discretionary holdings detracted.
Lazard Summary of Performance
Performance was driven by stock selection and sector positioning during the period. Sector positioning benefited from an underweight to consumer discretionary and consumer staples and an overweight to materials, while an overweight to healthcare detracted, and operating cash was a drag in a strong market environment. Stock selection contributed in the financials and technology sectors and detracted in healthcare and consumer discretionary, with stock selection most effective in Korea and Taiwan and detracting in Brazil and China. Top contributors included Delta Electronics, which benefited from strong demand for AI-related data center infrastructure, Korea Electric Power, which benefited from government capital market initiatives and improved profitability, and Harmony Gold Mining, which benefited from higher gold prices and solid operating execution. Detractors included Realtek Semiconductor, reflecting weaker personal computer-related demand and margin pressure, Lupin Limited, which was impacted by adverse legal and regulatory developments, and International Game Systems, where lower arcade machine sales and margin compression weighed on performance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 11.92%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 31.22% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, which returned 20.76% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio was managed by two sub-advisers: Franklin Templeton Institutional, LLC (“Franklin Templeton”) and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMorgan”). On April 30, 2025, Lazard Asset Management LLC (“Lazard”) replaced Franklin Templeton as a sub-adviser of the Fund.
Franklin Templeton Summary of Performance
For the period from January 1, 2025 – April 30, 2025, performance was affected by stock selection in the industrials and financials sectors, while stock selection in communication services and information technology contributed. Sector positioning also influenced performance, as an overweight to information technology and an underweight to financials detracted, while a lack of exposure to energy and an overweight to communication services contributed. Within communications services, CTS Eventim, a Germany-based live entertainment and ticketing services provider, contributed following fourth-quarter results that exceeded consensus expectations, reflecting strong revenues and profit margins across its ticketing and live entertainment divisions. In consumer discretionary, German apparel and footwear manufacturer Puma detracted from performance after issuing a profit warning driven primarily by slowing growth in Latin America, where profit margins are relatively high, with a stronger U.S. dollar further weighing on its fourth-quarter earnings.
JPMorgan Summary of Performance
Performance was affected by stock selection across sectors and regions, with industrials and information technology contributing, while communication services and consumer staples detracted. Regional positioning also influenced performance, as stock selection in continental Europe and the Pacific Rim contributed, while stock selection in the U.K. and Japan detracted. Within industrials, aerospace and defense holdings contributed, supported by increased fiscal stimulus and higher defense spending in Europe, with Indra Sistemas, a Spanish defense company, the top contributor as demand rose amid heightened geopolitical tensions. Consumer staples detracted the most, driven by an overweight position in Diageo, a U.K.-based global beverage company, as weak consumer sentiment, increased competition, tariff concerns, and shifting consumer habits weighed on investor views of the stock.
Lazard Summary of Performance
Performance during the period from April 30, 2025 - December 31, 2025 was affected primarily by valuation pressure on quality-oriented holdings amid a narrow market environment. While earnings across the portfolio continued to compound, rising interest rates and shifting market preferences led to a significant derating of quality companies, particularly across industries viewed as more exposed to potential AI disruption. Portfolio positioning, including underweights to areas such as banks and overweights to industries such as media, software, and professional services, detracted as market leadership narrowed toward perceived AI beneficiaries. In addition, select holdings, including data and analytics companies such as RELX and London Stock Exchange Group, experienced meaningful valuation declines despite strong underlying earnings growth, reflecting investor concerns around future AI impacts.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 31.38%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 31.22% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one sub-adviser: Keyridge Asset Management Limited (“Keyridge”) (formerly known as Irish Life Investment Managers Limited).
Keyridge Summary of Performance
Performance was supported by a resilient growth backdrop despite tariff-related uncertainties, with fiscal and monetary stimulus helping to offset the drag from higher tariffs. A weaker dollar over the course of the year also supported returns from global equities for U.S. dollar-based investors. ASML, a semiconductor company, was the largest contributor to performance, supported by strength in its extreme ultraviolet lithography business, while HSBC, a U.K. bank, also contributed to performance due to improved operational efficiency and a focus on wealth management. Novo Nordisk, a pharmaceuticals company, detracted the most from performance amid weak sales growth and increased competition for its weight-reducing drugs Wegovy and Ozempic. CSL Limited, a biotech company, was also a detractor as it experienced profit downgrades, a delayed spin-off, and declining U.S. flu vaccination rates.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 39.43%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 31.22% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the MSCI EAFE Value Index, which returned 42.25% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) and Massachusetts Financial Services Company (“MFS”).
LSV Summary of Performance
Performance was driven primarily by the portfolio’s deeper value style orientation, which was the largest contributor for the year. Style (deeper value) accounted for the most significant positive impact on performance, while size (smaller size bias) was the largest detractor.
MFS Summary of Performance
Performance was affected by sector allocation and security selection, which detracted. Security selection in the consumer staples, healthcare and industrials sectors detracted, while an underweight position and stock selection in financials further weighed on performance, and an overweight position in information technology also detracted. Individual holdings that detracted included SAP, London Stock Exchange Group, and Schneider Electric. Security selection in the materials sector contributed to performance during the year, partially offsetting these effects.
