Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

• For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund’s Class A shares returned 21.18%.

• In comparison, the FTSE World Index returned 33.62% for the same period.

What affected the Fund’s performance?

• Easing U.S. monetary policy and a greater appetite for risk helped drive strong market returns during the period.

• On a sector basis, the Fund benefited most from stock selection in the materials sector, attributable to a gold miner holding and another mining stock that was a takeover target.

• On a country basis, the Fund benefited most from its underweight position in Japan, which underperformed the wider market, and from security selection in Spain.

• On a sector basis, information technology detracted most from relative performance, largely due to zero exposure to two low-yielding Index heavyweights.
