Thornburg Global Equity Ex-U.S. Fund 30 SEPTEMBER 2014 Investment Policy Objective Under normal circumstances the fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in equity securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States. The portfolio is diversified to include basic value stocks, but also includes stocks of companies with consistent earnings characteristics and those of emerging franchises, when these issues are value priced. The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity and debt securities of all types. The secondary, non-fundamental goal of the Fund is to seek some current income. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its objectives. Key Points ■■ The team is focused on identifying promising companies selling at a discount to intrinsic value via disciplined, bottom-up, fundamental research. ■■ The portfolio is typically more focused than many peers.
