Out of 114 five-year measurement periods, International Value Fund II has outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index (in USD) 21 times, or 18% of measured periods.
The above chart illustrates the five-year average annual rolling net returns (calculated monthly) for the International Value Fund II since October 31, 2009 (Fund inception: October 26, 2009), compared to the five-year average annual rolling returns for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (in USD) (the ‘Index’). The horizontal axis represents the returns for the Index, while the vertical axis represents the returns for the Fund. The diagonal axis is a line of demarcation separating periods of outperformance from periods of underperformance. Plot points above the diagonal axis indicate the Fund’s relative outperformance, while points below the diagonal axis indicate the Fund’s relative underperformance. Returns were plotted for three distinct equity market environments: a ‘down market’ (benchmark return was less than 0%); a ‘normal market’ (benchmark return was between 0% and 10%); and a ‘robust market’ (benchmark return was greater than 10%). There were 114 five-year average annual rolling return periods between October 31, 2009 and March 31, 2024. Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
The performance shown, before and after taxes, represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Please click here or call 1 -800-432-4789 to obtain performance data that is current as of the most recent month-end.
The Fund does not impose any front-end or deferred sales charges. The expense ratios shown above reflect the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses (i.e., the fees and expenses attributable to investing cash balances in money market funds) and may differ from those shown in the Funds’ financial statements.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Returns after taxes on distributions are adjusted for federal income taxes associated with fund distributions, but do not reflect the federal income tax impact of gains or losses recognized when fund shares are sold. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares are adjusted for federal income taxes associated with fund distributions and reflect the federal income tax impact of gains or losses recognized when fund shares are sold. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
Investors cannot invest directly in an index, unlike an index fund. Index returns are not adjusted to reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor would pay on distributions or the sale of securities comprising the index.
Tweedy, Browne has voluntarily agreed, effective December 1, 2017 through at least July 31, 2024, to waive a portion of the Fund’s investment advisory fees and/or reimburse a portion of the Fund’s expenses to the extent necessary to keep the Fund’s expense ratio in line with the expense ratio of the International Value Fund. (For purposes of this calculation, the Fund’s acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses are disregarded, and the Fund’s expense ratio is rounded to two decimal points). The net expense ratio set forth above reflects this limitation, while the gross expense ratio does not. The performance data shown above would have been lower had certain fees and expenses not been waived and/or reimbursed during certain periods.
The performance results reflected above are over the course of many years and reflect multiple market cycles and varying geopolitical, market and economic conditions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
