Alpha: A measure of the difference between a portfolio’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measured by beta. Beta: A measure of systematic risk with respect to a benchmark. Systematic risk is the tendency of the value of the portfolio and the value of benchmark to move together. Sharpe Ratio: A risk-adjusted measure calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. Upside Capture: Upside Capture Ratio is a measure of the manager’s performance in periods when the market (benchmark) goes up. Upside Capture Ratio measures a manager's performance in up markets relative to the market (benchmark) itself. The ratio is calculated by comparing the manager's returns in up-markets with that of a benchmark index. Downside Capture: Downside Capture Ratio measures manager's performance in down markets. The ratio is calculated by dividing the manager's returns by the returns of the index during the down-market and multiplying that factor by 100. It is used to evaluate how well an investment manager performed relative to an index during periods when that index has dropped. Information Ratio: Information Ratio measures a portfolio’s returns above a benchmark while accounting for the volatility of those excess returns. Calculated as Excess Return divided by Tracking Error. Standard Deviation: Standard deviation measures the dispersion of a dataset relative to its mean. It is calculated as the square root of the variance. Standard deviation is used as a measure of a relative riskiness of an asset. Weighted Average Market Cap: A weighted average of the share price of each holding in the portfolio or benchmark multiplied by the number of shares outstanding for those respective holdings. Net Debt/Equity ex lease: A measure of a company's financial leverage. This ratio indicates how much a company relies on debt to finance its operations relative to its own resources i.e. equity. To calculate this ratio, first subtract the present value of operating leases from the company's net debt. Take this value and divide it by the company's shareholders equity to attain the desired ratio - in this case, Net Debt/Equity excluding leases. The P/E (Price-to-Earnings) Forward Ratio: A metric used to evaluate the valuation of a company relative to its expected earnings over the next 12 months. It helps assess whether a stock is over- or under-valued based on future potential earnings. To calculate the multiple, the company's share price is divided by the estimated earnings over the next 12 months. These ratios may be provided at the company and portfolio level, with the latter being a weighted average of company level estimates. Return on Invested Capital: A metric that can be used to determine a company’s efficiency at allocating capital and is measured by dividing operating profit after taxes by Invested Capital. Invested Capital is the combined value of equity and debt raised by the company. This metric may be provided at the company and portfolio level, with the latter being a weighted average of company level metrics. Active Share: Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager's portfolio that differs from the benchmark.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a market capitalization weighted equity index that measures the performance of the large and mid-cap segments across emerging market countries. The index is maintained by Morgan Stanley Capital International. It is impossible to invest directly in an index. The performance of an index does not reflect any transaction costs, management fees, or taxes.
ESG Risk: The Adviser integrates material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into research analysis as part of a comprehensive evaluation of a company’s long-term financial sustainability. The risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by the investment adviser, including but not limited to the Adviser’s integration of ESG factors into its research analysis, will not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the investment adviser and the individual portfolio manager in connection with managing the Fund. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved.
Mutual fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that a large portion of the Fund’s assets may be invested in one or few companies or sectors. The Fund could fluctuate in value more than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a limited number of countries. If the Fund concentrates its investments in this manner, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance. The Fund’s investment performance may also be more volatile if it concentrates its investments in certain countries. Foreign securities risks include currency exchange rate fluctuations, less available public information about the issuers of securities, less stringent regulatory standards, lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards. Emerging securities markets may have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Polen Emerging Markets Growth Fund carefully before investing. A prospectus with this and other information about the Fund may be obtained by calling 1-888-678-6024 or visiting the Materials tab. It should be read carefully before investing.
All performance is calculated in US Dollars. The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Returns are presented net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all income.
