Wellington Management Funds (Ireland) plc - Emerging Markets Systematic Equity Fund

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term total returns. The Investment Manager will actively manage the Fund, seeking to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”) and achieve the objective, primarily through investment in companies domiciled or listed in emerging market countries. The Investment Manager believes that a scientific, model-based approach is ideally suited to identify and exploit market inefficiencies by applying insights across a very large number of securities. Over shortterm horizons, a systematic approach can help uncover stock performance trends and optimal timing patterns to seek to generate additional returns and minimize transaction costs. Over long-term horizons, a disciplined process aims to avoid common investment traps that can be traced to behavioral biases as well as capture return generating ideas that have been scientifically tested.
