Overview

The GMO Emerging Markets Trust seeks to generate total return in excess of that of its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. GMO uses proprietary quantitative techniques and fundamental analysis to evaluate and select countries, sectors, and equity investments based on factors including, but not limited to, valuation, quality, patterns of price movement and volatility, macroeconomic factors, and ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria. GMO expects the Trust will have a value bias relative to its benchmark.

Disclosures

The GMO Australia Trusts (the "Trusts") are issued by GMO Australia Limited ABN 30 071 502 639, AFS Licence No. 236 656. The Trusts accept investments from wholesale investors only. Retail investors are not able to directly invest in the Trusts but may be able to gain exposure to some of the Trusts by investing with certain investor directed portfolio services, master trusts, wrap accounts or custodians ("Services"). GMO Australia Limited, GMO LLC, and their affiliates, do not guarantee the performance of any Trust or the repayment of an investor's capital.

This information is of a general nature only and is not advice. It does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any specific investor. The offer to invest in a Trust for wholesale investors is contained in the current Information Memorandum. A Product Disclosure Statement ("PDS") may be available for some of the Trusts and is solely for use by retail investors gaining exposure to a Trust through a Service. The Information Memorandum and PDS (if available) may be accessed from this website. Investors should read the Information Memorandum or PDS, consider their own circumstances, and obtain their own advice before making an investment decision.
