Centre Global Select Equity Fund
Large Capitalization Foreign (non-U.S.) Stock Fund
Concentrated Portfolio
Differentiated Regional GDP-Driven Portfolio Construction
Actively Managed to Seek Long Term Alpha
Fund Profile: Summary
Investment Objective:
 The Fund seeks to generate long-term capital growth
Investment Strategy Highlights:
 An international equity fund for investors seeking higher growth through overseas market exposure, without
suffering the excessive volatility associated with dedicated emerging markets funds
 Invests in a diversified portfolio of large capitalization foreign (non-U.S.) blue chip equity securities
 High conviction investment ideas – What we believe are the best 80 to 100 stocks of global (non-US)
companies, concentrated in the top 40 names
 We consider these the best blue chips of developed markets plus emerging blue chips from the developing
world
 Bottom Up Fundamental Stock Selection Process driven by Economic Value Added (EVA) investment
philosophy
 Stock selection is combined with portfolio construction process that is focused on GDP-driven regional
weightings rather than market capitalization; regional weights determined by economic footprint rather than
market capitalization
 Two sources of potential excess return – stock selection alpha and portfolio construction “smart beta”

Differentiated Fundamental Approach

Concentrated Portfolio: Invests in high conviction investment ideas – the best 80 to 100 stocks
of global (ex-U.S.) blue chip companies, concentrated in the top 40 names.

High Emerging Market Exposure: Fund has a material exposure to Emerging Market regions.
Current exposure is roughly 40 percent (normal range of exposure is approximately 35% to 50%).

Improved Stock Selection Through EVA: Historically, high Economic Value Added (EVA®)
companies have outperformed low EVA ones. By targeting companies with attractive EVA
profiles, Global Select Equity narrows its focus to high quality companies that make wise capital
allocation decisions. Additionally, EVA facilitates cross-border comparisons between the best
emerging market names and developed market blue-chip firms because it standardizes accounting
across nations. Quite simply, EVA is the profit earned by the firm less the cost of financing the
firm's capital. The idea is that value is created when the return on the firm's economic capital
employed is greater than the cost of that capital.

Smart Beta-Enhanced Global Growth Exposure: Utilizing a smart beta approach to portfolio
construction that focuses on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) weights instead of market
capitalization as guideposts for regional and country weightings, Global Select Equity is
structured to tilt towards the world’s fastest growing economies as well as
avoiding/underweighting overvalued markets, e.g., Japan in 1990. Over the last 40 years, GDPweighted indices have materially outperformed market cap-weighted indices and also have higher
exposure to developed market powerhouses like Germany, Hong Kong, and Israel.
