About WLDR
The Fund seeks to passively replicate the Index. The Index consists of equity securities issued and tradedin the US as well as international countries. The Index is expected to consist of approximately 150 to 250 stocks of companies locatedin the U.S. and in at least three countries outside of the U.S., and may invest in up to 20 countries. The Index will be significantlyinvested in the securities of international companies in addition to securities of U.S. companies. The Fund normally invests at least80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities included in the Index. The Fund may also investin American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) (collectively DepositaryReceipts) based on the securities in the Index. Constituentsof the Index are characterized by strong global footprint (measured by market capitalization), rank high on measures of earnings quality,demonstrate improving fundamentals (positive earnings revisions on earnings estimates, revenue estimates, price targets, and analystrecommendations), show stock price momentum, and trade at relatively attractive valuations (based on a ranking from various trading multiples,which are, generally speaking, a ratio of the securitys market price to financial or accounting metrics such as earnings, bookvalue, etc., as well as a dividend discount model, which attempts to determine the current or future value of a security based in parton its dividend payments).Theprocess of constructing the Index begins with sorting the companies in the FTSE Russell Global Developed Index (excluding those in Greeceand South Korea) (the Benchmark Index) by market capitalization. The next step involves selecting those companies thatcomprise the top 85% of cumulative market capitalization, and categorizing them into two regions: US and International. The final stepinvolves scoring these securities on the above criteria within each region, and then narrowing this universe of companies to approximately150 to 250 equity securities using a proprietary ranking system of the Funds sub-adviser, Affinity. The proprietary ranking systemis known as the Affinity Score and is calculated by weighting the above criteria based on the Sub-Advisers assessmentof the correlation between the score components and subsequent long-term stock performance. Stocks that rank in the top decile are candidatesfor purchase, while those that rank outside the top quartile are typically sold. A risk management overlay is then used to guide portfolioconstruction. The overlay calls for neutral business sector weights versus the Benchmark Index, approximately equal active weightingof each security within a business sector (active weight is the absolute percentage deviation of a securitys weight in the portfoliofrom its weight in the Benchmark Index), and limiting the deviation of the Indexs geographical distribution from that of the BenchmarkIndex. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a semi-annual basis. Asof December 31, 2025, the Index was comprised of 115 issuers with market capitalizations ranging from $14.5 billion to $498.6 billion.As of December 31, 2025, the countries in the Benchmark Index were: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan,Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States. TheIndex is co-sponsored by the Sub-Adviser and by FTSE Russell (the Index Provider), an organization that is independentof the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser determines the composition and relative weightings of the securities inthe Index and the Index Provider publishes information regarding the market value of the Index. TheFund uses a passive or indexing approach to attempt to approximate the investment performance of the Index by investingin a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Index. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beatthe index it tracks and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. The Fund may concentrateits investments in a particular country, region, industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a country,region, industry or group of industries.
