Wellington Lux Emerging Markets Research Eq. S Cap $

The Fund seeks long-term total returns. The Fund will be actively managed, in excess of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the "Index") and achieve the objective by investing primarily either directly or indirectly, in large and mid-cap ("core") equity and equity-related securities issued by companies located in emerging markets, inclusive of frontier market countries (as defined by the Index) and/or conducting substantial business activities in emerging markets. The Index is designed to measure large and mid-cap equity market performance across global emerging markets. The investment approach uses company selection based on fundamental research by global industry analysts in the research department of the investment manager of the Fund (the "Investment Manager") , under the oversight of both the director of global industry research and the director of research portfolios who manages overall risk and Fund allocations to analysts. Both the country allocation and the selection of companies are at the discretion of the individual analysts. The Fund's securities will generally be components of the Index but are expected to have different weightings; however the Fund may also invest in companies not included in the Index at their discretion. The allocation by each individual global industry analyst will typically align to the Index weighting for the industry they cover, such that the industry weightings of the Fund remain similar to those of the Index. The expected outcome of this should be that the analysts' country allocation and stock selection decisions, rather than industry overweight or underweight decisions, will be responsible for achieving long-term total returns in excess of the Index and/or producing performance that is different from the Index. The Fund, over time, will be diversified by issuer relative to the global emerging equity market and will not be oriented towards any particular investment style (e.g., growth, value, small companies); its characteristic
