Overview
The GMO Quality Select Investment Fund seeks to generate total return by investing primarily in equities the Focused Equity team believes to be of high quality.
The team believes that companies with established track records of historical profitability and strong fundamentals – high quality companies – are able to outgrow the average company over time, and are therefore worth a premium price. The Fund’s disciplined approach uses both quantitative and fundamental techniques to assess the relative quality and valuation of global companies and aims to exploit a long-term investment horizon while withstanding short-term volatility. The Fund will be managed to maintain a portfolio-level carbon footprint that is below the level of that of the MSCI World Index. In addition, GMO excludes from the investment universe: (i) companies that appear on the Norges Bank's Exclusion List; and (ii) companies it determines to be in the following industries: fossil fuels, tobacco, alcohol, gambling, adult entertainment, and controversial munitions.

Risks
Risks associated with investing in the Fund may include: (1) Market Risk - Equities: The market price of equities may decline due to factors affecting the issuer, its industries, or the economy and equity markets generally. Declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset value of the Fund's shares. (2) Management and Operational Risk: The risk that GMO's investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, including annualized returns and annualized volatility. (3) Focused Investment Risk: The Fund invests its assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers, and a decline in the market price of a particular security held by the Fund may affect the Fund's performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.For a more complete discussion of these risks and others, please consult the Fund's Prospectus.
