CWW AM’s long‐term investment objective is to generate stable, long‐term asset growth for
clients, by focusing on few world‐class products, concentrated stock‐picking strategies and a
stable client base. CWW AM has been managing International Equities portfolios (global equities
excluding North America) since 1986. CWW AM expanded its International process to include U.S.
Equities in 1990, and the resulting C WorldWide Global Equities strategy has since become the
flagship offering, representing the large majority of CWW AM client assets. Since 2001 CWW AM
has managed an ethical version of the global strategy, the C WorldWide Global Equities Ethical
strategy. In 2023 CWW AM introduced its C WorldWide International Equities ADR Strategy, a
strategy that invests primarily in sponsored and unsponsored depositary receipts, including
American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and shares listed on exchanges in the U.S.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, U.S. Client assets are invested in
equity securities, including depositary receipts.
Tailoring advisory services to client needs
CWW AM’s strategies can be tailored to the individual needs of U.S. Clients by imposing client-
specific restrictions on investments in specific securities identified by the client or types of
securities, for example, in the form of exclusion lists or sector exclusions; provided, that such
restrictions are practicable and consistent with the strategy. Such restrictions will be included in
the written investment guidelines agreed with the client and monitored by CWW AM.
