Its 2014 showing is a case in point: It lost 3.7%, underperforming the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 1.5 percentage points and landing in the diversified emerging-markets Morningstar Category’s bottom half. That marks the first calendar year since its 1999 inception that it fared worse than both the index and its typical peer when emerging-markets stocks lost money--falling markets are usually when this fund shines. Arguably, however, last year was no exception. True, it made some mistakes: A modest position in the now failed Banco Espirito Santo hurt, as did small stakes in Russian Internet stocks, which fell amid ongoing political and economic turmoil. The fund’s primary problem, though, was its near category-leading 35% average stake in foreign developed-markets stocks, like Japan’s SOFTBANK, a top-10 holding that shed 21.2%. While these stocks generally hurt for the year as a whole (the MSCI EAFE Index dropped 4.9%),

they helped the fund during the early September to mid-December emerging-markets correction. The fund’s 10.2% loss in that stretch beat the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 5.7 percentage points. Treading heavily in foreign developed names is nothing new here. As long as a company gets at least 20% of its revenue from the developing world, it’s fair game--provided that at least 35% of the fund’s assets are invested directly in emerging-markets securities. At year-end 2014, 55% of the equity portfolio’s revenues came from developing economies, but only emerging-markets investing has yielded strong long-term results. Its 8.4% annualized gain from its June 1999 start date through April 2015 is in line with the index and bests its typical category peer but does so with one fifth less volatility, as measured by standard deviation. With a flexible and effective process, the fund 42.8% of the equity portfolio was in emerging-markets-domiciled stocks. The fund’s conservative approach to
