Local Currency Emerging Market Debt Fund
The Mondrian Local Currency Emerging Market Debt Fund (the Fund) aims to achieve high current income and long term capital growth. The Fund is actively managed and intends to invest primarily in government and government related fixed-income securities of emerging or developing countries which may be rated investment grade or below investment grade or unrated. A rating agency gives an investment grade rating when it believes that there is a relatively low risk that the issuer of the bond will be unable to make payments. A rating agency gives a below investment grade rating when it believes that there is a high risk that the issuer of the bond will be unable to make payments. In addition to government fixed-income securities, the Fund may also invest in corporate bonds and commercial paper. Investments may be issued in local currencies as well as currencies such as the US dollar or Euros.

Investment Philosophy
- A value-oriented, defensive philosophy, which focuses on “emerging” or developing fixed income markets that offer high income in real (inflation-adjusted) terms and long-term capital growth.
- Considers the relative value of country bond markets as well as foreign currency valuations for a US dollar-based investor when selecting bonds for the Fund. Because of special risks associated with foreign currencies, the Fund may defensively hedge currency exposures.

Further details, including risks, fees and expenses, are set out in the current Prospectus, Supplements and Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs) below. Read carefully before investing.
Calculations for Average Coupon, Average Maturity, Modified Duration, Average Quality, and Yield to Maturity are based on generally accepted industry standards. All Fund characteristics are derived by first calculating the characteristics for each security, and then calculating the weighted-average of these values for the Fund. The details of exact calculations can be provided upon request.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. An investment in the Fund involves the risk of loss. The investment return and value of Shares in the Fund will fluctuate. When a redemption is made, the Shares may be worth more or less than when originally purchased.
There can be no assurance that the investment objectives of the Fund will be achieved.
The Fund is managed in accordance with the investment objective and guidelines and other terms and conditions described in the Prospectus and Fund Supplement. The Fund is not managed in accordance with the individual guidelines of any one investor.
The Total Assets of the Fund and the Fund Return are calculated using the official Net Asset Value data of the Fund. All other information has been calculated using Mondrian’s accounting system data, which may differ from official Net Asset Value data of the Fund, for example because of timing of the accounting of Administrative Expenses and pricing for securities.
All performance information provided is net of Transaction Expenses, Administrative Expenses and Management Fees but gross of the Subscription and Redemption charges (each as described in the Supplement to the Prospectus).
Subscription Charges and Redemption Charges are automatically deducted from subscription payments and redemption proceeds. Investor returns will be reduced by Subscription Charges and Redemption Charges paid.
