Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • The Fund utilized commodity index-linked swaps as an effective means of gaining exposure to the UBS Constant Maturity Commodity Total Return Index. 

  • Commodities showed mixed performance in 2024. Persistent inflation and strong demand initially pushed prices higher, but weaker-than-expected recovery efforts in China and anticipation of higher tariffs from the incoming administration pressured prices in the latter part of the year.

  • Precious metals, energy and industrial metals were the Fund’s largest contributors. Cocoa led individual gains with unprecedented price increases, driven by the largest global supply deficit in over 60 years. Gold also made significant contributions, reaching all-time highs due to strong central bank purchases, economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risks.

  • Soybeans and corn were the Fund’s largest detractors, as favorable growing conditions in the U.S. and record yields from major producers like Brazil created a global supply glut.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • The Fund utilized commodity index-linked swaps as an effective means of gaining exposure to the UBS Constant Maturity Commodity Total Return Index. 

  • Commodities showed mixed performance in 2024. Persistent inflation and strong demand initially pushed prices higher, but weaker-than-expected recovery efforts in China and anticipation of higher tariffs from the incoming administration pressured prices in the latter part of the year.

  • Precious metals, energy and industrial metals were the Fund’s largest contributors. Cocoa led individual gains with unprecedented price increases, driven by the largest global supply deficit in over 60 years. Gold also made significant contributions, reaching all-time highs due to strong central bank purchases, economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risks.

  • Soybeans and corn were the Fund’s largest detractors, as favorable growing conditions in the U.S. and record yields from major producers like Brazil created a global supply glut.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Emerging markets bonds overall had a positive return over the period despite multiple headwinds including rising U.S. interest rates, geopolitical risk and uncertainty around U.S. trade policy, which negatively impacted local currency bonds, while hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds benefitted from high yields and declining spreads.

  • Relative to its benchmark, the 50% J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index / 50% J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, the Fund outperformed primarily due to selective country exposures and overall had a positive return over the period.

  • In terms of country of risk, Thailand, China and Sri Lanka were the top contributors to performance while Brazil, Chile and Poland detracted the most.

  • Hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds contributed to performance as the U.S. dollar appreciated over the year, while local-currency bonds had a negative impact overall.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Emerging markets bonds overall had a positive return over the period despite multiple headwinds including rising U.S. interest rates, geopolitical risk and uncertainty around U.S. trade policy, which negatively impacted local currency bonds, while hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds benefitted from high yields and declining spreads.

  • Relative to its benchmark, the 50% J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index / 50% J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, the Fund outperformed primarily due to selective country exposures and overall had a positive return over the period.

  • In terms of country of risk, Thailand, China and Sri Lanka were the top contributors to performance while Brazil, Chile and Poland detracted the most.

  • Hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds contributed to performance as the U.S. dollar appreciated over the year, while local-currency bonds had a negative impact overall.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • Emerging markets bonds overall had a positive return over the period despite multiple headwinds including rising U.S. interest rates, geopolitical risk and uncertainty around U.S. trade policy, which negatively impacted local currency bonds, while hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds benefitted from high yields and declining spreads.

  • Relative to its benchmark, the 50% J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index / 50% J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, the Fund outperformed primarily due to selective country exposures and overall had a positive return over the period.

  • In terms of country of risk, Thailand, China and Sri Lanka were the top contributors to performance while Brazil, Chile and Poland detracted the most.

  • Hard currency sovereign and corporate bonds contributed to performance as the U.S. dollar appreciated over the year, while local-currency bonds had a negative impact overall.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, China’s weak recovery efforts, coupled with a more subdued global growth outlook and anticipation of higher tariffs from the incoming administration, weighed on commodities and resource equities, particularly in the final months of the year.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to Base & Industrial Metals companies was the largest detractor, as copper and steel prices were significantly impacted by the weaker-than-expected effects of China’s record stimulus measures and the potential for fewer rate cuts in the U.S. in 2025. Renewables & Alternatives also detracted, as the higher interest rate environment continued to weigh on borrowing and operational costs for emerging developers in the sector.

  • The largest detractors on an individual security basis were diversified metals miner Glencore, residential solar provider Sunnova Energy and iron ore producer Vale.

  • Collectively, the Fund’s largest contributors were positions in Oil & Gas, which benefited from relatively stable oil prices and ongoing capital discipline, as well as Gold & Precious Metals companies, which gained from margin expansion amid record-high gold prices.

  • On an individual security basis, the largest contributors included chicken producer Pilgrim's Pride, integrated oil company PetroChina and gold major Kinross Gold.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the S&P Global Natural Resources Index, the Fund outperformed due to strong security selection within Oil & Gas and Agriculture. Overweight positioning and security selection within Gold & Precious Metals also contributed positively.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, China’s weak recovery efforts, coupled with a more subdued global growth outlook and anticipation of higher tariffs from the incoming administration, weighed on commodities and resource equities, particularly in the final months of the year.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to Base & Industrial Metals companies was the largest detractor, as copper and steel prices were significantly impacted by the weaker-than-expected effects of China’s record stimulus measures and the potential for fewer rate cuts in the U.S. in 2025. Renewables & Alternatives also detracted, as the higher interest rate environment continued to weigh on borrowing and operational costs for emerging developers in the sector.

  • The largest detractors on an individual security basis were diversified metals miner Glencore, residential solar provider Sunnova Energy and iron ore producer Vale.

  • Collectively, the Fund’s largest contributors were positions in Oil & Gas, which benefited from relatively stable oil prices and ongoing capital discipline, as well as Gold & Precious Metals companies, which gained from margin expansion amid record-high gold prices.

  • On an individual security basis, the largest contributors included chicken producer Pilgrim's Pride, integrated oil company PetroChina and gold major Kinross Gold.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the S&P Global Natural Resources Index, the Fund outperformed due to strong security selection within Oil & Gas and Agriculture. Overweight positioning and security selection within Gold & Precious Metals also contributed positively.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, China’s weak recovery efforts, coupled with a more subdued global growth outlook and anticipation of higher tariffs from the incoming administration, weighed on commodities and resource equities, particularly in the final months of the year.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to Base & Industrial Metals companies was the largest detractor, as copper and steel prices were significantly impacted by the weaker-than-expected effects of China’s record stimulus measures and the potential for fewer rate cuts in the U.S. in 2025. Renewables & Alternatives also detracted, as the higher interest rate environment continued to weigh on borrowing and operational costs for emerging developers in the sector.

  • The largest detractors on an individual security basis were diversified metals miner Glencore, residential solar provider Sunnova Energy and iron ore producer Vale.

  • Collectively, the Fund’s largest contributors were positions in Oil & Gas, which benefited from relatively stable oil prices and ongoing capital discipline, as well as Gold & Precious Metals companies, which gained from margin expansion amid record-high gold prices.

  • On an individual security basis, the largest contributors included chicken producer Pilgrim's Pride, integrated oil company PetroChina and gold major Kinross Gold.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the S&P Global Natural Resources Index, the Fund outperformed due to strong security selection within Oil & Gas and Agriculture. Overweight positioning and security selection within Gold & Precious Metals also contributed positively.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, China’s weak recovery efforts, coupled with a more subdued global growth outlook and anticipation of higher tariffs from the incoming administration, weighed on commodities and resource equities, particularly in the final months of the year.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to Base & Industrial Metals companies was the largest detractor, as copper and steel prices were significantly impacted by the weaker-than-expected effects of China’s record stimulus measures and the potential for fewer rate cuts in the U.S. in 2025. Renewables & Alternatives also detracted, as the higher interest rate environment continued to weigh on borrowing and operational costs for emerging developers in the sector.

  • The largest detractors on an individual security basis were diversified metals miner Glencore, residential solar provider Sunnova Energy and iron ore producer Vale.

  • Collectively, the Fund’s largest contributors were positions in Oil & Gas, which benefited from relatively stable oil prices and ongoing capital discipline, as well as Gold & Precious Metals companies, which gained from margin expansion amid record-high gold prices.

  • On an individual security basis, the largest contributors included chicken producer Pilgrim's Pride, integrated oil company PetroChina and gold major Kinross Gold.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the S&P Global Natural Resources Index, the Fund outperformed due to strong security selection within Oil & Gas and Agriculture. Overweight positioning and security selection within Gold & Precious Metals also contributed positively.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, gold prices reached all-time highs, driven by strong central bank buying, economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risks.

  • Although gold mining stocks collectively underperformed the metal stocks during the year, they still benefited significantly from expanded margins and attractive valuations.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to senior and major gold miners was the top contributor. Among senior and major miners, Agnico Eagle Mines and Kinross Gold were the strongest performers, benefiting from their low-cost, low-risk operating environments and consistently meeting or exceeding earnings expectations throughout the year.

  • While the Fund’s junior and mid-tier miner positions were collectively additive for the year, two notable detractors were Bellevue Gold and Endeavour Mining. Junior miner Bellevue Gold faced delays in developing its first mine, while mid-tier miner Endeavour Mining grappled with unexpected management issues, missed growth targets and heightened concerns about geopolitical risks.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, the Fund’s security selection within mid-tier miners was the largest contributor to outperformance. While security selection within junior developers was strong, the Fund’s overweight position in this segment detracted.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, gold prices reached all-time highs, driven by strong central bank buying, economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risks.

  • Although gold mining stocks collectively underperformed the metal stocks during the year, they still benefited significantly from expanded margins and attractive valuations.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to senior and major gold miners was the top contributor. Among senior and major miners, Agnico Eagle Mines and Kinross Gold were the strongest performers, benefiting from their low-cost, low-risk operating environments and consistently meeting or exceeding earnings expectations throughout the year.

  • While the Fund’s junior and mid-tier miner positions were collectively additive for the year, two notable detractors were Bellevue Gold and Endeavour Mining. Junior miner Bellevue Gold faced delays in developing its first mine, while mid-tier miner Endeavour Mining grappled with unexpected management issues, missed growth targets and heightened concerns about geopolitical risks.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, the Fund’s security selection within mid-tier miners was the largest contributor to outperformance. While security selection within junior developers was strong, the Fund’s overweight position in this segment detracted.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, gold prices reached all-time highs, driven by strong central bank buying, economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risks.

  • Although gold mining stocks collectively underperformed the metal stocks during the year, they still benefited significantly from expanded margins and attractive valuations.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to senior and major gold miners was the top contributor. Among senior and major miners, Agnico Eagle Mines and Kinross Gold were the strongest performers, benefiting from their low-cost, low-risk operating environments and consistently meeting or exceeding earnings expectations throughout the year.

  • While the Fund’s junior and mid-tier miner positions were collectively additive for the year, two notable detractors were Bellevue Gold and Endeavour Mining. Junior miner Bellevue Gold faced delays in developing its first mine, while mid-tier miner Endeavour Mining grappled with unexpected management issues, missed growth targets and heightened concerns about geopolitical risks.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, the Fund’s security selection within mid-tier miners was the largest contributor to outperformance. While security selection within junior developers was strong, the Fund’s overweight position in this segment detracted.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year?

  • During the period, gold prices reached all-time highs, driven by strong central bank buying, economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risks.

  • Although gold mining stocks collectively underperformed the metal stocks during the year, they still benefited significantly from expanded margins and attractive valuations.

  • On an absolute basis, the Fund’s exposure to senior and major gold miners was the top contributor. Among senior and major miners, Agnico Eagle Mines and Kinross Gold were the strongest performers, benefiting from their low-cost, low-risk operating environments and consistently meeting or exceeding earnings expectations throughout the year.

  • While the Fund’s junior and mid-tier miner positions were collectively additive for the year, two notable detractors were Bellevue Gold and Endeavour Mining. Junior miner Bellevue Gold faced delays in developing its first mine, while mid-tier miner Endeavour Mining grappled with unexpected management issues, missed growth targets and heightened concerns about geopolitical risks.

  • Relative to the benchmark, the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, the Fund’s security selection within mid-tier miners was the largest contributor to outperformance. While security selection within junior developers was strong, the Fund’s overweight position in this segment detracted.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

  • The Industrials sector contributed the most to the Fund’s performance during the period followed by information technology and communication services .

  • The leading individual contributors to performance were RTX Corp, Salesforce and Fortinet.

  • The Consumer discretionary sector, on the whole, was the only sector to detract from Fund performance for the period.

  • The leading individual detractors from performance were The Estee Lauder Companies, Etsy and Nike. Estee Lauder was particularly impacted by weakening demand for its beauty products in China.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information for the Fund may reflect temporary fee waivers, if applicable. Had the Fund incurred all expenses, investment returns would have been reduced. These returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and distributions or the sale of Fund shares.

 

Investment returns and value of the shares of the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Individual performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Fund returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Returns for actual Fund investors may differ from what is shown because of differences in timing, the amount invested and fees and expenses.

 

Index returns are not Fund returns and do not reflect any management fees or brokerage expenses. Certain indices may take into account withholding taxes. Investors can not invest directly in an index. Indices are unmanaged and returns include the reinvestment of all dividends.
