Overview

The GMO Quality Cyclicals Fund seeks to generate total return by investing in leading cyclical businesses. Leveraging their long-term disciplined approach to investing in high quality companies, GMO’s Focused Equity team selects from a high-conviction universe of cyclical businesses that it believes are of higher quality than their industry peers. These quality cyclical businesses tend to be structurally underappreciated by the market, which at times of elevated stress can create attractive investment opportunities.

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.
