Performance results reflect ongoing charges and any applicable expense subsidies and waivers in effect during the periods shown. All historic results assume distributions within the fund and/or the share class are reinvested.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future results. All financial investments involve an element of risk. The value of investments may rise and fall so you may get back less than originally invested.
Investors should consider the risks, including lower returns, related to currency movements between their investing currency and the portfolio's base currency, if different.

Please note that these share classes will be available for investment up until the fund reaches AUM of $200 million, at which point the Founders Class will be soft-closed.
At this time these share classes will only be available in a limited selection of currencies.
