Mark Baribeau provides insight on the equity-market backdrop and explains why conditions continue to foster promising opportunities for growth investors.
Harness the power of cycle-defying secular trends

Information for persons in Chile: The securities offered in this document are foreign, so the rights and obligations of investors are subject to the legal framework of the issuer’s country of origin, Ireland, and, therefore, investors must inform themselves of the way and means through which they can exercise their rights. Likewise, given the securities are foreign, the supervision by the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero of Chile (“CMF”) will focus exclusively on the adequate performance of the information duties set forth by Norma de Carácter General 352 (“NCG 352”) of the CMF and, therefore, the supervision of both the securities and their issuer will be mainly exercised by the foreign regulator, the Central Bank of Ireland. The public information that will be provided for the securities will be exclusively that which is required by the Central Bank of Ireland. The accounting principles and auditing standards differ from the principles and rules applicable to issuers in Chile. According to section 196 of Law No. 18.045, foreign issuers, securities intermediaries, foreign securities depositories, and any other person involved in the registration, placement, deposit, trading and any other agreements relating to foreign securities or Securities Depositary Certificates (“CDVs”), which are subject to the rules set forth under Title XXIV of said law and the regulations enacted by the CMF, that violate such regulations, will be held liable pursuant to Law- Decree No. 3,538 of 1980 and Law No. 18.045. Investors will be able to obtain more information on the website of the CMF.

Morningstar Ratings
The Morningstar Rating for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustments for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year(if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
