GMO Quality Fund | GMO Quality Fund

Investment objective

Total return.

Fees and expenses

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may bear for each class of shares if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

Annual Fund operating expenses (expenses that you bear each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

	ETF Class
Management fee		0.48%1
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees		0.00%
Other expenses		0.19%2
Total annual fund operating expenses		0.67%
Expense reimbursement/waiver		(0.16%)1
Total annual fund operating expenses after expense reimbursement/waiver		0.51%

1 Includes both management fee of 0.33% and class-specific service and supplemental support fee of 0.15% for ETF Class shares. Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”) has contractually agreed to waive its fees with respect to and/or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after applying all other contractual and voluntary expense limitation arrangements in effect at the time) exceed 0.50% of the average daily net assets for ETF Class shares (the “Expense Cap”). Fees and expenses of the “non-interested” Trustees and legal counsel to the “non-interested” Trustees, investment-related costs (such as brokerage commissions, interest, and acquired fund fees and expenses), payments out of assets attributable to Class I shares for sub-transfer agency, recordkeeping and other administrative services provided by financial intermediaries, borrowing and borrowing-related costs (such as expenses incurred in establishing and maintaining a credit facility), taxes, litigation and indemnification expenses, judgments, and other extraordinary or non-recurring expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, are excluded from the Expense Cap. GMO also has contractually agreed to waive or reduce the Fund’s management fees and service and supplemental support fees to the extent necessary to offset the management fees and service and supplemental support fees paid to GMO that are directly or indirectly borne by the Fund or a class of shares of the Fund as a result of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in other series of GMO Trust and GMO-managed ETFs (“GMO Funds”). Management fees and service and supplemental support fees will not be waived below zero. These reimbursements and waivers will continue through at least September 30, 2027 and may not be terminated prior to this date without the action or consent of the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

2 Because ETF Class shares of the Fund are new, “Other expenses” are estimated amounts for the current fiscal year based on the expenses of Class R6 shares of the Fund.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, regardless of whether or not you sell your shares at the end of such periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses with respect to ETF Class shares remain the same as those shown in the table. The one year amounts shown reflect the expense reimbursement and waiver noted in the expense table. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

			1 Year							3 Years							5 Years							10 Years
ETF Class				$	52						$	198						$	357						$	819

Portfolio turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities. A higher portfolio turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs and, for holders of Fund shares subject to U.S. taxes, higher income taxes. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During its fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate (excluding short-term investments) was 39% of the average value of its portfolio securities. That portfolio turnover rate includes investments in U.S. Treasury Fund, which the Fund uses as a short-term investment vehicle for cash management. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate during its fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, excluding transactions in U.S. Treasury Fund and other short-term investments, was 24% of the average value of its portfolio securities.

Principal investment strategies

GMO seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing the Fund’s assets primarily in equities of companies that GMO believes to be of high quality. GMO believes a high quality company generally to be a company that has an established business that will deliver a high level of return on past investments and that will use cash flows to make investments with the potential for a high return on capital or to return cash to shareholders through dividends or share buybacks.

In selecting securities for the Fund, GMO uses a combination of investment methods, typically considering both (1) systematic factors, based on profitability, profit stability, leverage, and other publicly available financial information, and (2) judgmental factors, based on GMO’s assessment of future profitability, capital allocation, growth opportunities, and sustainability against competitive forces. GMO also

may rely on valuation methodologies, such as discounted cash flow analysis and multiples of price to earnings, revenues, book values or other fundamental metrics. The Fund also is permitted to invest directly and indirectly (e.g., through underlying funds or derivatives) in equities of companies tied economically to any country in the world, including emerging countries.

At times, the Fund may have substantial exposure to a single asset class, industry, sector, country, region, issuer, or currency and companies with similar market capitalizations. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. The factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time. GMO does not manage the Fund to, or control the Fund’s risk relative to, any securities index or securities benchmark.

As an alternative to investing directly in equities, the Fund may invest in exchange-traded and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund also may invest in derivatives and ETFs in an attempt to obtain or adjust elements of its long or short investment exposure. Derivatives used may include futures, options, forward currency contracts, and swap contracts. In addition, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests directly and indirectly at least 80% of its assets in equities of quality companies (see “Name Policies”). The term “quality company” means a company that (i) is included in an independently maintained index of quality companies (“Quality Index”); (ii) has financial and business characteristics that GMO determines to be similar to those of companies included in a Quality Index; or (iii) rates in the top 50% of GMO’s quality rankings for companies within the Fund’s investment universe.

The Fund also may invest in U.S. Treasury Fund, in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO, and directly in the types of investments typically held by money market funds.

The Fund’s ETF Class operates as an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”).

Performance

The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s annual total returns from year to year for the periods indicated and by comparing the Fund’s average annual total returns for different calendar periods with those of a broad-based securities market index. The Fund’s ETF Class shares are a new class and, as of the date of this Prospectus, had not commenced operations. Returns shown are those of Class III shares of the Fund, a mutual fund class of shares of the Fund not offered in this Prospectus, and have not been adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses attributable to ETF Class shares. Class III shares would have substantially similar annual returns to ETF Class shares because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, and the annual returns at NAV (assuming ETF Class shares are bought and sold without any premium or discount) would differ only to the extent that Class III shares do not have the same expenses as ETF Class shares. Share classes that bear higher expenses than the share classes shown below would have lower returns. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant if you are tax-exempt or if you hold your Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements (such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account). After-tax returns are shown for Class III shares only; after-tax returns for other classes will vary. Updated performance information for the Fund is available at https://www.gmo.com/americas/investment-capabilities/etfs/. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.
