Tax-Managed International Equities Fund

Vehicle Mutual Fund
Asset Class Equities

Overview

The GMO Tax-Managed International Equities Fund seeks to generate high after-tax total return greater than that of the MSCI EAFE (After-Tax) Index by investing primarily in non-U.S. equities.

The Fund’s investment approach is grounded in the Global Equity team’s belief that, in the short term, equity markets exhibit exploitable inefficiencies as a result of irrational investor actions, the imperfect flow of information, and the participation of non-economic actors, while in the long term returns are ultimately driven by economic reality. The Fund aims to take advantage of this inefficiency by utilizing a multi-factor valuation model in conjunction with other methods, such as cross-asset signals and corporate alerts, to identify mispriced equity securities. The Fund’s portfolio management process seeks to maximize expected alpha net of costs, including transaction costs and taxes.

Risks

Risks associated with investing in the Fund may include: (1) Market Risk - Equities: The market price of equities may decline due to factors affecting the issuing companies, their industries, or the economy and equity markets generally. Declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset value of the Fund's shares.

Many non-U.S. markets are less stable, smaller, less liquid, and less regulated than U.S. markets, and the cost of trading in those markets often is higher than it is in U.S. markets. (3) Management and Operational Risk: The risk that GMO's investment techniques will fail to produce desired results. For a more complete discussion of these risks and others, please consult the Fund's prospectus.
