JIG

JIG actively captures large- and mid-cap stocks in emerging and developed markets excluding US, similar to those in the MSCI ACWI ex-USA Growth index. Within this universe, the fund's manager uses a bottom-up approach by reviewing individual securities based on a set of growth, quality and valuation criteria. Companies believed best positioned for sustainable above-average growth are selected for the portfolio. ESG risks are considered, but securities with such risks may still be included in the fund. The fund will invest substantially in securities denominated in foreign currencies. As such, the fund may invest in derivatives such as currency forwards and exchanged-traded futures in managing its risks and cash flow.
