Potential Capital Gain Exposure: 12% of assets Morningstar’s Take by William Samuel Rocco 08-20-15 Harding Loevner International Equity Fund merits a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Silver because of its attractive strategy and other attributes. Co-lead managers Ferrill Roll and Alexander Walsh focus on blue-chip growth stocks, vigilantly assess price and other risks, run a fairly compact portfolio, and move at a measured pace just like the other Harding Loevner skippers do. Roll and Walsh also regularly allow their stock selection to lead to distinctive sector and country weightings, as their colleagues do. This strategy provides an appealing combination of upside potential and downside protection, and it has earned good long-term risk-adjusted returns at Silver-rated Harding Loevner Global Equity HLMGX and other sibling funds. Roll and Walsh have generally executed the firm’s discipline well here. This fund has posted mixed results for the year to date through July 31, 2015, beating the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index but lagging the average foreign large-growth fund. Several of the managers’ Japanese and French holdings posted nice gains, but

many of their emerging-markets names suffered sizable losses. However, Roll and comanager Peter Baughan’s stock selection has added lots of value in all sorts of investment climates in the past--including sell-offs--so this fund has produced superior risk-adjusted returns over the long term. Moreover, this fund has a significant personnel edge over most of its rivals. Roll and Walsh are two of the longer-serving skippers in the world-stock Morningstar Category, and they already had lots of investment experience when they joined Harding Loevner in the late 1990s. Comanagers Baughan, Bryan Lloyd, and Andrew West also have solid resumes. The five managers also have an exceptional support team, which includes the managers of Silver-rated Harding Loevner Emerging Markets HLEMX. Finally, this fund looks pretty good from a cost perspective. It’s a terrific option for investors who are seeking growth-oriented foreign exposure for the long term.
