In this interview Mellody Hobson candidly discusses her opinions on the recent March 1st Invaluable Insights Webcast and highlighting key themes from the webcast including the geopolitical climate, market volatility and the travel and leisure sector. These opinions are current as of the date of this interview but are subject to change. The information provided in this interview does not provide information reasonably sufficient upon which to base an investment decision and should not be considered a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security. This material should not be considered an offer for any of the securities referenced. The information contained in the interview is not guaranteed as to its accuracy or completeness. See current holdings for the Fund by clicking here. See the Products section of our website for other current product holdings.

Reference to “top value investors” by the media should not be construed as any type of ranking. References to stocks being “cheap” means that it is the speaker’s opinion that such stocks are selling at significant discounts to the speaker’s estimate of such stocks’ private market value. It, also, does not suggest that the stocks mentioned will generate favorable results.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investing in equity stocks is risky and subject to the volatility of the markets. The performance of any single portfolio holding is no indication of the performance of other portfolio holdings. A value investment strategy seeks undervalued stocks that show a strong potential for growth. The intrinsic value of the stocks in which a value strategy invests may be based on incorrect assumptions or estimations, may be affected by declining fundamentals or external forces, and may never be recognized by the broader market.

Investors should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses before investing.
