Portfolio Positioning
as of 09/30/2024

  • We believe the outlook for global equities remains compelling. With inflation normalizing and aggregate supply and demand rebalancing, central banks are easing from restrictive levels. A soft landing is the base case, in our view, and corporate earnings globally are on track for further growth. Our primary focus remains on bottom-up investing, derived from intensive company research. The semiconductor industry continues to show strength, driven by accelerated compute applications, including generative artificial intelligence (AI). Despite a slowing cyclical backdrop, the structural growth in accelerated compute is evident, sustaining demand for AI chips. Chipmakers with sufficient scale and a global footprint are well-positioned to benefit from these trends due to their investments in research and specialized manufacturing.
  • We also remain excited about continuing structural change in Japan. Despite macro driven volatility affecting Japanese stocks, the case for structural reform and activist involvement leading to greater shareholder value creation remains strong. Over 40% of companies in the TOPIX 500 index trade below their book value, compared to less than 5% in the S&P 500® Index. The Tokyo Stock Exchange has asked many of these companies to share their plans to raise profitability and returns. Another potential tailwind is the significant cash reserves held by Japanese companies and households. Many companies have net cash positions on their balance sheets, and Japanese households, holding 50% of their financial assets in cash and equivalents, have largely yet to move into stocks and bonds.
  • Lastly, there is also growing optimism for a resurgence in global small-cap stocks. In 2023, these stocks underperformed compared to large-cap stocks, creating a significant valuation gap. The convergence of favorable factors, including potential changes in global central bank policies, suggests a bright future for small caps in 2024. Rate cuts in response to easing inflation could lower borrowing costs for small-cap companies, encouraging growth. Additionally, the potential for increased merger and acquisition activity is high, as lower funding costs could drive larger companies to acquire high-growth small-cap firms. We believe that quality metrics, such as strong return on equity, free cash flow, and prudent balance sheet management, paired with long-term competitive advantages and pricing power, will prove to be key factors allowing companies to outperform.

Class A  Except as noted below, returns with sales charges reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75% for equity funds, 2.25% for all tax-free income funds, fixed income funds and multi-asset class funds. There are also ongoing 12b-1 service fees (and, in certain cases, distribution fees).

Class A Shares purchased subject to a front-end sales charge have no contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). However, certain purchases of Class A shares made without a front-end sales charge may be subject to a CDSC of 1% if the shares are redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one year anniversary of the purchase falls. The CDSC is not reflected in the performance with maximum sales charge.

Class A Shares purchased subject to a front-end sales charge have no contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). However, effective 12/1/2021, certain purchases of Class A shares made without a front-end sales charge may be subject to a CDSC of 1% if the shares are redeemed before the first day of the month of the 18-month anniversary of the purchase. Fund shares purchased without a sales charge prior to 12/1/2021 may be assessed a CDSC of 1% if they are redeemed before the first day of the month in which the one-year anniversary of the purchase falls. The CDSC is not reflected in the performance with maximum sales charge.
