BGF Global Allocation: Investment Philosophy
“Competitive returns with low-to-moderate levels of risk can be achieved through a flexible, research-
intensive, value-oriented approach that seeks the best investment opportunities worldwide, broadly
diversified across asset classes, countries and securities.”
– Global Allocation Portfolio Management Team
Broadly diversified across asset classes, countries, sectors and market capitalizations
Seeks to offer investors competitive returns at lower than equity market risk
• We believe that arbitrary categorizations (size/style boxes/target weights) make little sense in a global financial economy that is
becoming increasingly integrated
An experienced investment team can exploit inefficiencies in corners of the global capital markets that
most specialized managers typically ignore, or are precluded from investing in
A “total return” investment approach coupled with a broad investment mandate allows for capital
appreciation opportunities in many market conditions with less risk than typical equity-only investments
• Philosophy is fundamentally distinct from most long-only managers, who measure performance, conformity, and risk relative to
passive indices – this approach can result in sizeable absolute losses during difficult market conditions
• By comparison, most absolute return managers who seek consistent, annualized target performance goals, may sacrifice long-
term upside potential in more favorable market environments

BGF Global Allocation Fund: Investment Process
Research Asset Allocation Portfolio Construction
• Equity: Bottom-up, value-driven, • Combine top-down asset, • Diversified across many holdings
fundamental process currency and sector allocation (700+) and many countries (~40)
• Fixed Income: Focus on total with bottom-up security selection • No min/max industry or country
return and credit analysis • Utilize a variety of allocation constraints
• Ongoing research of over valuation metrics • Maximum of 35% assets in non-
1,000 companies • Compare relative value among investment grade fixed income
and within asset classes • Derivatives are employed
• Avoid overvalued asset classes primarily to hedge (protect) the
value of assets against adverse
movements in the markets
Top-down strategy targets an attractive risk/return trade-off across asset classes, countries and
market capitalizations
Bottom-up fundamental research evaluates the relative attractiveness of securities within various global
market sectors and asset classes
• Securities are evaluated based on their expected risk/return profiles
Fundamental analysis, valuation metrics, and quantitative screening identify opportunities for analysts to
pursue
• Valuation screens include EV/EBITDA, P/E, P/CF, P/B, and a large variety of other metrics
• Security selection based on fundamental research, not benchmark composition
Flexible, price-sensitive process designed to add value from a very broad investment universe

Important Notes
Principal risks
• Stock and bond values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions
• International investing involves risks, including risks related to foreign currency, limited liquidity, less government regulation and
the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments
• The two main risks related to fixed-income investing are interest rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise,
there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will
not be able to make principal and interest payments
• The fund may also invest in non-investment-grade debt securities (those rated below Baa by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or
below BBB by Standard & Poor’s). These securities, commonly referred to as “junk bonds,” generally involve greater volatility of
price and risks to principal and income than securities in higher rating categories
• The fund’s equity holdings, industries and asset mix are subject to change as the fund is actively managed
• Investing in derivatives entails specific risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or
increase volatility
