For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

Data as of 28 Feb 2026
The global equity market recorded moderate gains in February with the MSCI World Value Index rising +0.73% (net in USD) for the month.
The market was supported by strong corporate earnings and was able to brush aside ongoing concerns surrounding the broader implications of artificial intelligence and heightened geopolitical tensions. Nearly all regions/countries outside of the US posted positive returns.
Performance dispersion across sectors was notably pronounced as materials (+10.6%), utilities (+9.1%), and energy (+9.1%) were the best performers, whilst the communications (-4.1%), technology (-3.5%), and consumer discretionary (-3.3%) sectors were the worst performers.
We maintain a constructive outlook on the global equity market in the long term, supported by expectations for continued corporate earnings growth over the next 12 months and the potential for a more accommodative interest rate environment.
In the near term, however, we are moderating our expectations for significant price appreciation as elevated valuations and rising geopolitical uncertainty may contribute to heightened volatility.
We continue to favour high-quality companies with durable cash flows and strong balance sheets whilst emphasising the importance of diversification and a balanced approach to help dampen portfolio volatility.
The Fund is actively managed with reference to the MSCI World Value Net USD Index (the "Index"). The Index is used (i) as a universe from which to select or hold securities; (ii) to measure performance of the Fund; and (iii) for the purposes of calculating relative Value at Risk (“VaR”). The investment manager has discretion over the composition of the portfolio of the Fund and may select securities not included in the Index. However, in normal market circumstances, whilst it is expected that a significant portion of the Fund’s constituents will also be Index constituents, deviations from the Index may be material. Whilst the investment manager does not employ a defined strategy to align with a benchmark during periods of volatility, it will take account of market environment and perceived risks at any given time and will employ its investment discretion as described in the investment policy accordingly.
