The fund invests primarily in a broad range of foreign equity securities or depositary receipts of foreign equity securities. The advisor combines fundamental research on issuers with analysis of significant ESG characteristics, which Thornburg defines as those ESG factors that may materially affect an issuer’s risk and return profile and the issuer’s long-term investment performance. It may invest in any stock or other equity security which Thornburg believes may assist the fund in pursuing its goal, including common stocks, preferred stocks and publicly traded real estate investment trusts.
