Overview

Usonian Japan Value Creation Investment Fund seeks total return and measures its performance against the TOPIX Total Return Index for performance comparison purposes. The Fund employs a fundamental, value-oriented approach to invest in equities of Japanese companies and companies tied economically to Japan. 
 
In managing the Fund, the Usonian Japan Equity team follows a disciplined, bottom-up approach using fundamental research to identify equities that we believe are undervalued with high quality balance sheets. The team spends considerable time developing a high level of knowledge about the companies in which the Fund invests and engages collaboratively with corporate management with the ultimate goal of unlocking shareholder value and mitigating risk.

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 issuer, its 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; (2) Management and Operational Risk: the risk that GMO's investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, including annualized returns and annualized volatility; and (3) Focused Investment Risk: the Fund invests its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers, and a decline in the market price of a particular security held by the Fund may affect the Fund's performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers. For a more complete discussion of these and other risks, please consult the Fund's Prospectus.
