The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings
for investments purposes) in equity securities. Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment
focus suggested by the fund’s name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment
focus suggested by the fund’s name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the fund’s
80% investment policy. The
fund typically invests in securities of companies in global, developed markets. Global developed markets
include Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States,
most of the countries of Western Europe, and Hong Kong. Generally, the Fund expects to maintain geographic
exposures similar to those of the MSCI World Index. The fund may deviate from these exposures in the
adviser’s discretion and may invest in emerging market countries. The adviser’s decision-making process focuses
on bottom-up stock selection with an awareness of the global economic backdrop and the adviser’s outlook
for certain industries, sectors, and individual countries. The fund diversifies broadly across a variety
of industries. The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size, but its focus is typically
on large-cap companies. While country allocation is driven largely by stock selection, the adviser may
limit investments in markets or industries that appear to have poor overall prospects. The fund is nondiversified,
which means it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than is permissible
for a diversified fund. At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the
same economic sector.

Principal Risks |
Principal Risks As with any fund, there is no guarantee that
the fund will achieve its objective(s). The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund, which may be even greater
in bad or uncertain market conditions, are summarized as follows:
|
Risk Lose Money [Member] |
The fund’s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose
money by investing in the fund.
|
Foreign investing |
Foreign investing: Non-U.S.
securities
tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity and trading volume than investments in U.S.
securities and may lose value because of adverse local, political, social, or economic developments overseas,
or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Further, securities
of non-U.S. issuers are subject to trading markets with potential governmental interference, varying
regulatory, auditing, and accounting standards, and settlement and clearance practices that differ from
those of U.S. issuers. Investment in non-U.S. securities also carries currency risk. Any attempts to
hedge currency risk could be unsuccessful. Such investments may have higher transaction costs compared
with U.S. markets. The fund’s overall foreign investing risk is increased to the extent it has exposure
to emerging markets.
|
Stock investing |
Stock investing: Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and
may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline
because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. The value of
stocks held by the fund may decline due to general weakness or volatility in the stock markets in which
the fund invests or because of factors that affect a particular company or industry.
|
Market conditions |
Market
conditions: The value of the fund’s investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly,
due to factors affecting an issuer held by the fund, particular industries, or the overall securities
markets. A variety of factors can increase the volatility of the fund’s holdings and markets generally,
including geopolitical developments (such as trading and tariff
arrangements,
sanctions, and cybersecurity attacks), recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, war, military
conflict, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and outbreaks of infectious illnesses or other widespread
public health issues (such as the coronavirus pandemic) and related governmental and public responses.
Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions
in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and
industries more significantly than others. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates,
market volatility, and security pricing. These adverse developments may cause broad declines in market
value due to short-term market movements or for significantly longer periods during more prolonged market
downturns.
|
Large-cap stocks |
Large-cap stocks: Securities issued by large-cap companies tend to be less volatile
than securities issued by small- and mid-cap companies. However, large-cap companies may not be able
to attain the high growth rates of successful small- and mid-cap companies, especially during strong
economic periods, and may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges.
|
Sector exposure |
Sector exposure:
Issuers in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic or market events, making the
fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector than funds that invest more
broadly.
|
Emerging markets |
Emerging markets: Investments in emerging market countries are subject to greater
risk and overall volatility than investments in the U.S. and other developed markets. Emerging market
countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, less developed legal and
regulatory regimes, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. In
addition to the risks associated with investing outside the U.S., emerging markets are more susceptible
to governmental interference, political and economic uncertainty, local taxes and restrictions on the
fund’s investments, less efficient trading markets with lower overall liquidity, and more volatile
currency exchange rates.
|
Risk Nondiversified Status [Member] |
Nondiversification: As a nondiversified fund, the fund has the ability to invest
a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified
fund. As a result, poor performance by a single issuer could adversely affect fund performance more than
if the fund were invested in a larger number of issuers.
|
Active management |
Active management: The fund’s overall
investment program and holdings selected by the fund’s investment adviser may underperform the broad
markets, relevant indices, or other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.
|
Authorized Participant |
Authorized
Participant: Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions
directly with the fund. The fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as Authorized Participants,
and none of these Authorized Participants are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption
transactions. To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with
creation or redemption orders with respect to the fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to
step forward to create or redeem, (i) the market price of the fund’s shares may trade at a premium
or discount to its net asset value (NAV), (ii) an active
trading market for the fund may not develop or be maintained, and (iii) there is no assurance that the
requirements of the exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the fund will continue to be met or
remain unchanged.
|
ETF shares trading |
ETF shares trading: Shares of the fund are listed for trading on a national securities
exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of shares
are expected to fluctuate in response to changes in the fund’s NAV, the value of the fund’s holdings,
and supply and demand for shares. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, significant market volatility,
potential lack of an active trading market for the shares (including through a trading halt), or other
factors may widen bid-ask spreads and result in the shares trading significantly above (at a premium)
or below (at a discount) to NAV or to the value of the fund’s holdings. If a shareholder purchases
shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the
market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses.
|
New fund |
New fund: Because
the fund is new, it has a relatively small number of shareholders and assets under management. As a result,
the portfolio manager may experience difficulties in fully implementing the fund’s investment program
and may be less able to respond to increases in shareholder transaction activity. The fund’s limited
operating history could make it more difficult to evaluate the performance of the portfolio manager and
the fund’s investment strategies. In addition, there can be no assurance that the fund will ultimately
grow to an economically viable size, which could lead to the fund eventually ceasing its operations.
|
Cybersecurity breaches |
Cybersecurity
breaches: The fund could be harmed by intentional cyberattacks and other cybersecurity
breaches, including unauthorized access to the fund’s assets, confidential information, or other proprietary
information. In addition, a cybersecurity breach could cause one of the fund’s service providers or
financial intermediaries to suffer unauthorized data access, data corruption, or loss of operational
functionality.
