International Coverage With a Growth Preference

The growth classification narrows a developed market Equity universe outside the United States and Canada. Companies selected for growth characteristics can face different valuation expectations and reinvestment demands from the broader market. Country allocation remains relevant, because growth oriented businesses operate under different currencies and financial conditions. The sector mix shows where these style and geographic considerations meet in the actual portfolio.

Portfolio Composition and Exposure

The published exposure breakdown as of 2 November 2026 included Industrials at 27.65% and Information Technology at 17.97%. These allocations show where a meaningful part of the portfolio's exposure was concentrated. The percentages can change with market values and portfolio adjustments.

Fees and Distribution Policy

EFG lists an expense ratio of 0.34%. This is an ongoing fund cost, rather than a charge covering every expense of buying or selling shares. Brokerage charges and the difference between buying and selling prices can add to an investor's transaction costs. Fund shares trade on Cboe BZX at market prices, which may differ from net asset value.

The stated distribution frequency is semi-annual. That schedule describes the timing framework for payments and does not establish a fixed amount. Distributions depend on the fund's available income and applicable distribution decisions. A cash payment also needs to be considered alongside changes in the value of the investment.

Key Insights

Disappointing earnings, higher discount rates and currency changes can pressure growth equities. Industry concentrations can make the fund sensitive to shared changes in spending or competitive conditions. EFG combines an international developed market boundary with a growth preference, so its country exposures and industry weights matter alongside the style classification.
