GMO Emerging Markets Debt Total Return Fund Class IV GMVFX Strategy

The investment seeks positive total return. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests directly and indirectly (e.g., through other GMO Funds or derivatives) at least 80% of its assets in debt investments tied economically to emerging markets (see “Name Policies”). In seeking to achieve the fund’s investment objective, GMO typically invests a portion of the fund’s assets in OTC and exchange-traded derivatives, including options, swap contracts (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps and credit default swaps), forward currency contracts (including forward contracts on currencies of developed markets), and reverse repurchase agreements.
