International Equity Fund

Inception Date: January 1, 1998

The TPF International Equity Fund is a broadly diversified portfolio of large, high quality non-U.S. companies that are either ordinary shares traded on securities exchanges around the world or American Depository Receipts (ADRs) traded on U.S. exchanges. Geographic, industry and currency exposures are carefully monitored, with limits placed on some individual markets and industries, and occasional currency hedges made when appropriate to a particular risk.

The TPF International Equity Fund seeks long-term growth of capital with no greater risk, but different performance characteristics, than a portfolio of high quality U.S. securities. Over a full market cycle (3 to 5 years) the Fund aims to produce a total rate of return net of expenses that exceeds the MSCI EAFE Index, and is ranked above the median performance level when compared to a universe of comparable funds.

The TPF International Equity Fund is best used as a portion of a commitment to the equity markets for investors requiring additional diversification and exposure to the full world economy. The Fund invests in securities that pay little or no dividends, and is exposed to different, although not necessarily greater, risks than a portfolio of domestic stocks.


Net Assets: $204.6 Million
