The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets, and provides equity returns including dividends net of withholding tax rates as calculated by MSCI.  The MSCI Emerging Markets Value Index captures large and mid-cap emerging markets securities exhibiting overall value style characteristics. The value investment style characteristics for index construction are defined using three variables: book value to price, 12-month forward earnings to price and dividend yield.  You cannot invest directly in an index.

Fund holdings, Regional and Sector exposures and characteristics are as of the date shown and are subject to change at any time. As a result, the Fund’s current and future holdings, Regional and Sector exposures and characteristics may vary substantially from the information shown. No recommendation is made regarding the advisability of buying or selling any security.

The Morningstar rating is for The Pzena Emerging Markets Value Fund – Institutional Share Class; other classes may vary. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of funds in each 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. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) As of June 30, 2024 the Institutional Class shares of the Fund were rated 5-Stars and 4-Stars and 4-Stars against the following numbers of Diversified Emerging Markets funds over the following time periods: 718 funds in the last three- 646 funds in the last five- and 423 funds in the last ten-years. © 2024 Morningstar, Inc.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in Emerging Markets. The fund may have emphasis on a specific sector which could adversely affect a fund to a greater extent than if its emphasis was less. The fund may invest in securities which are less liquid and more difficult to sell than more liquid securities. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. The Fund emphasizes a “value” style of investing, which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in general.
