Manning & Napier Rainier International Discovery Series (RAIIX)

The fund primarily allocates its capital to the common stock of small and mid-sized enterprises situated in both established and developing international markets, as evaluated at the point of acquisition. Rainier's investment philosophy centers on identifying companies whose shares are projected to appreciate over time, with choices driven by rigorous examination of individual businesses rather than broad macroeconomic predictions. Typically, no more than one-quarter of the fund's total assets will be committed to participatory notes upon their initial purchase.
