Overview
The GMO Multi-Asset Trust seeks to achieve a total return greater than that of its benchmark of 25% MSCI All Country World ex Australia Index Unhedged, 25% MSCI All Country World ex Australia Index Hedged, and 50% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index Hedged, over a complete market cycle by allocating dynamically across asset classes.
The philosophy that underlies all of GMO’s Asset Allocation investment strategies is the belief that, at times and in the short term, the pricing of asset classes can deviate from true intrinsic value, but mean reverts to appropriate valuation levels over the long term. GMO’s proprietary 7-Year Asset Class Forecasts form the foundation of our investment process, providing a framework to assess the return opportunity embedded in different asset classes. We use that insight to allocate to what we believe are the most attractively priced asset classes. We also seek to add value through security selection within both traditional and alternative asset classes.

Risks
Risks associated with investing in the Trust 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) Commodities Risk: Commodity prices can be extremely volatile, and exposure to commodities can cause the value of the Fund's shares to decline or fluctuate more than if the Fund had a broader range of investments. (3) Management and Operational Risk: The risk that GMO's investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, including annualized returns and annualized volatility.For a more complete discussion of these risks and others, please consult the Trusts Product Disclosure Statement.
