Basis of Presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value a Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Portfolio valuation

Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”) deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. In the case of non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less, the instrument may be valued at amortized cost which approximates market value, if the issuer is deemed to present minimal credit risk. Shares of open-end registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (the “Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives, if any, that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

The foregoing pricing methodologies are modified for equity securities listed on foreign exchanges and that trade in securities markets that are closed prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the value will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close. The table below shows the percentage of the net assets of the Funds that were valued using fair value prices obtained from that independent pricing service as of November 30, 2012. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie instruments (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) are classified as being valued using Level 2 inputs (levels defined below) in the table below.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a security is not available by the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value on any business day, the Funds will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

As discussed above, certain of the Funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or using fair value inputs obtained from an independent pricing service. The net aggregate direct and/or indirect exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Funds’ net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:


Securities

 

   
Fund Name   Fair valued using
inputs obtained
from an
independent
pricing service
Quality Fund   19.3%
Real Estate Fund  
U.S. Core Equity Fund  
U.S. Flexible Equities Fund   6.8%
U.S. Growth Fund  
U.S. Intrinsic Value Fund  
U.S. Small/Mid Cap Fund  

U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2, and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (being determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). On both November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012, none of the Funds held securities or derivative financial instruments directly whose fair value was categorized using Level 3 inputs.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost; OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; certain restricted securities; and non-exchange traded equity securities and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.


The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

The risks referenced in the tables above are not intended to be inclusive of all risks. Please see the “Investment and other risks” and “Derivative financial instruments” sections below for a further discussion of risks.

 

  * The tables above are based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. The uncertainties surrounding the valuation inputs for a derivative are likely to be more significant to the Funds’ net asset values than the uncertainties surrounding inputs for a non-derivative security with the same market value.

All of the Funds’ common stocks except for Quality Fund and U.S. Flexible Equities Fund held at period end are classified as Level 1. The classifications for Quality Fund and U.S. Flexible Equities Fund are shown in the tables above. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for a more detailed categorization of common stocks.

The underlying funds held at period end are classified above as Level 1. For the summary of valuation inputs (including Level 3 inputs, if any) of the underlying funds, please refer to the underlying funds’ portfolio valuation notes.

For all Funds for the period ended November 30, 2012, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time.

Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds and other investment companies is exposed to the risks to which the underlying funds in which it invests are exposed. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and, references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund through other GMO Funds and other investment companies.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

• MARKET RISK. All of the Funds are subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of their holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Equity Securities Risk — Funds with equity investments run the risk that the market prices of those investments will decline. The market price of an equity investment may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company, such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services. It also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry, such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages or increased production costs. In addition, market prices may decline as a result of general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity investments generally have greater price volatility than fixed income and other investments with a scheduled stream of payments, and the market price of equity investments is more susceptible to moving up or down in a rapid or unpredictable manner.

The Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets in equities and generally do not take temporary defensive positions. As a result, declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset values of those Funds’ shares.

If a Fund purchases equity investments at a discount from their value as determined by the Manager, the Fund runs the risk that the market prices of these investments will not appreciate to or decline from that value for a variety of reasons, one of which may be the Manager’s overestimation of the value of those investments.

Equity investments trading at high multiples of current earnings are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than securities trading at lower multiples. At times when the market is concerned that these expectations may not be met, the market prices of those securities typically fall.

Fixed Income Investments Risk — Funds that invest in fixed income securities (including bonds, notes, bills, synthetic debt instruments and asset-backed securities) are subject to various market risks. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to a number of market-related factors, including rising (or, in some limited cases, declining) interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity that reflect the market’s uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments). In addition, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities and sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments, can decline due to market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. During periods of economic uncertainty and change, the market price of a Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) may be particularly volatile. Often junk bonds are subject to greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes than higher rated bonds and can be more difficult to value, resulting in differences between the prices realized on their sale and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. See “Credit Risk” and “Liquidity Risk” below for more information about these risks.

A principal risk run by each Fund with a significant investment in fixed income securities is that an increase (or, in some limited cases, a decrease) in prevailing interest rates will cause the market price of those securities to decline. The risk associated with such changes in interest rates (also called “interest rate risk”) is generally greater for Funds investing in fixed income securities with longer durations and in some cases duration can increase.

The extent to which a fixed income security’s price changes with changes in interest rates is referred to as interest rate duration, which can be measured mathematically or empirically. A longer-maturity investment generally has longer interest rate duration because the investment’s fixed rate is locked in for a longer period of time. Floating-rate or adjustable-rate securities, however, generally have shorter interest rate durations because their interest rates are not fixed but rather float up and down as interest rates change. Conversely, inverse floating-rate securities have durations that move in the opposite direction from short-term interest rates and thus tend to underperform fixed rate securities when interest rates rise but outperform them when interest rates decline. Fixed income securities paying no interest, such as zero coupon and principal-only securities, create additional interest rate risk.

The price of inflation indexed bonds (including Inflation-Protected Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury (“TIPS”)) normally changes when real interest rates change. Their value typically will decline during periods of rising real interest rates (i.e., nominal interest rate minus inflation) and increase during periods of declining real interest rates. Real interest rates may not fluctuate in the same manner as


nominal interest rates. In some interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, the price of inflation indexed bonds may decline more than the price of non-inflation indexed (or nominal) fixed income bonds with similar maturities. The price of a Fund’s inflation indexed bonds, however, will not necessarily change in the same proportion as changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their price. Moreover, if the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation indexed bond investments will be adjusted downward, and, consequently, the interest they pay (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. In the case of TIPS, the U.S. government guarantees the repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation). Generally, when interest rates on short term U.S. Treasury obligations equal or approach zero, a Fund that invests a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations, such as U.S. Treasury Fund, will have a negative return unless the Manager waives or reduces its management fees.

Market risk for fixed income securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies is also affected by currency risk. See “Currency Risk” below.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Investments in asset-backed securities not only are subject to all of the market risks described above for fixed income securities but to other market risks as well.

Funds investing in asset-backed securities are exposed to the risk that these securities experience severe credit downgrades, illiquidity, defaults, and declines in market value. These risks are particularly acute during periods of adverse market conditions, such as those that occurred in 2008. Asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, and credit-card receivables. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations” or “collateralized loan obligations”) and by the fees earned by service providers.

As described under “Market Risk — Fixed Income Investments Risk” above, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities, can decline due to a number of factors, including market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flow generated by the assets backing the securities, as well as the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any, and the reliability of various other service providers with access to the payment stream. A problem in any one of these areas can lead to a decrease in the payment stream expected by a Fund at the time it purchased the asset-backed security. Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default and the value of the defaulted obligations exceed whatever credit support the securities may have. Asset-backed securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans, in particular, may cause a Fund to suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults, as sub-prime mortgage loans are typically made to less creditworthy borrowers and thus have a higher risk of default than conventional mortgage loans. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of asset-backed securities) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. See “Credit Risk” below for more information about credit risk.

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that occurred and became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured, and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying assets) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities. These events reduced liquidity and contributed to substantial declines in the market prices of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. These conditions may occur again. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages) have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities.

The market price of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying assets. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays. The obligations underlying asset-backed securities, in particular securities backed by pools of residential and commercial mortgages, also are subject to unscheduled prepayment, and a Fund may be unable to invest prepayments at as high a yield as was provided by the asset-backed security.

The risk of investing in asset-backed securities has increased since the deterioration in worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above because performance of the various sectors in which the assets underlying asset-backed securities are concentrated (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit card receivables) has become more highly correlated. See “Focused Investment Risk” below for more information about risks of investing in correlated sectors. A single financial institution may serve as a trustee for many asset-backed securities. As a result, a disruption in that institution’s business may have a material impact on many investments.


•  CREDIT RISK. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment will be unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligation to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor its obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the issuer’s or guarantor’s failure to meet its payment obligations or the downgrading of its credit rating. This risk is particularly acute in environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

All fixed income securities are subject to credit risk. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer are the primary factors influencing credit risk. The risk varies depending upon whether the issuer is a corporation or U.S. or non-U.S. government (or sub-division or instrumentality) and whether the particular security has a priority over other obligations of the issuer in payment of principal and interest and whether it has any collateral backing or credit enhancement. Credit risk may change over the life of a fixed income security. U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon whether the securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, supported by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, supported only by the credit of the issuing U.S. government agency, instrumentality, or corporation, or otherwise supported by the United States. For example, issuers of many types of U.S. government securities (e.g., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), and Federal Home Loan Banks), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by Congressional appropriations and their fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. government. These securities are subject to more credit risk than U.S. government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds). Investments in sovereign debt involve the risk that the governmental entities responsible for repayment may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due. A governmental entity’s willingness or ability to pay interest and repay principal in a timely manner may be affected by a variety of factors, including its cash flow, the size of its reserves, its access to foreign exchange, the relative size of its debt service burden to its economy as a whole, and political constraints. Investments in quasi-sovereign issuers are subject to the additional risk that the issuer may default independently of its sovereign. Sovereign debt risk is greater for emerging market securities.

In some cases, the credit risk of a fixed income security is reflected in its credit ratings, and a Fund holding such a security is subject to the risk that its rating will be downgraded.

As described under “Market Risk — Asset-Backed Securities Risk” above, asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets and their payment of interest and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the assets backing them. The credit risk of a particular asset-backed security depends on many factors, as described in “Market Risk — Asset Backed Securities Risk” above.

The obligations of issuers also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. A Fund also is exposed to credit risk on a reference security to the extent it writes protection under credit default swaps. See “Derivatives Risk” below for more information regarding risks associated with the use of credit default swaps.

The extent to which the price of a fixed income security changes in response to a credit event depends on a number of factors and can be difficult to predict. For example, floating rate securities may have final maturities of ten or more years, but their effective durations will tend to be very short. If the issuer of floating rate securities experiences an adverse credit event, or a change occurs in its perceived creditworthiness, the price of its securities could decline much more than would be predicted by the change in their yield in relation to their effective duration.

Credit risk is particularly pronounced for below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The sovereign debt of many non-U.S. governments, including their sub-divisions and instrumentalities, is below investment grade. Many asset-backed securities also are below investment grade. Below investment grade securities have speculative characteristics, often are less liquid than higher quality securities, present a greater risk of default and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse industry conditions. In the event of default of sovereign debt, the Funds may be unable to pursue legal action against the sovereign issuer.

•  LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents a Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. A Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). All of the Funds are subject to liquidity risk to some extent but those with the greatest risk have principal investment strategies that involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.

All of the Funds with benchmarks may buy securities that are less liquid than those in their benchmarks.


• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Companies with smaller market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap companies, may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may lack the competitive strength of larger companies, or may lack managers with experience or depend on a few key employees. In addition, their securities often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. In addition, market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for securities of these companies.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. All of the Funds may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, a Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts, or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

A Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., forward currency contracts), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, a Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Funds may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a pronounced effect on the Funds. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, a Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.

Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of a Fund, the Funds will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce a Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When a Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.


• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities are subject to additional and more varied risks than Funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. A Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).

Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes a Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments.

In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of a Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

Funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets) are subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than Funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in a Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.

• CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund’s investments are traded, in which a Fund receives income or in which a Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

Many of the Funds use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of their portfolios. As a result, their currency exposure may differ (in some cases significantly) from the currency exposure of their benchmarks. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, a Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and a Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.


Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).

• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.

A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Real Estate Risk” below.

Similarly, Funds having a significant portion of their assets in investments tied economically to (or related to) a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country (e.g., Taiwan) or particular market (e.g., emerging markets) have more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

• REAL ESTATE RISK. Because Real Estate Fund concentrates its assets in real-estate related investments, the value of its portfolio is subject to factors affecting the real estate industry and may fluctuate more than the value of a portfolio that consists of securities of companies in a broader range of industries. Factors affecting real estate values include the supply of real property in particular markets, overbuilding, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, delays in completion of construction, changes in real estate values, changes in operating costs and property taxes, levels of occupancy, adequacy of rent to cover operating costs, possible environmental liabilities, regulatory limitations on rent, fluctuations in rental income, increased competition and other risks related to local and regional market conditions. The value of real-estate related investments also may be affected by changes in interest rates, macroeconomic developments, and social and economic trends. For instance, during periods of declining interest rates, some mortgage REITs may hold mortgages that the mortgagors elect to prepay, which prepayment may reduce the yield on securities issued by those REITs. Some REITs have relatively small market capitalizations, which can tend to increase the volatility of the market price of their securities. REITs are subject to the risk of fluctuations in income from underlying real estate assets, their inability to manage effectively the cash flows generated by those assets, prepayments and defaults by borrowers, and their failure to qualify for the special tax treatment granted to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or to maintain their exemption from investment company status under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., a Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. A Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest cost based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. A Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

A Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, a Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

• COUNTERPARTY RISK. Funds that enter into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or that lend their securities run the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold


investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that a Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose a Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. A Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to a Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when a Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases a Fund’s counterparty risk. Funds that use swap agreements are subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.

The Funds also are subject to counterparty risk because they execute their securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Funds could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments they would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Funds.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.

• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Funds’ investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. During such market disruptions, the Funds’ exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investment and other risks” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Funds from implementing their investment programs for a period of time and achieving their investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Funds’ derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates, or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Funds


are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset Allocation Funds and separate accounts managed by the Manager for its clients hold substantial percentages of many Funds, and asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) those Funds. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). In addition, each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk is indirectly subject to this risk.

• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Each Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

For some Funds the Manager’s portfolio managers use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Funds also are subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent a Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Funds for losses resulting from their errors.

• FUND OF FUNDS RISK AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. Funds that invest in shares of other investment companies, including other GMO Funds, money market funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) (for purposes of this risk disclosure, “underlying Funds”), are exposed to the risk that the underlying Funds will not perform as expected.

Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying Funds in which it invests (absent reimbursement of those expenses), the Fund will incur additional expenses when investing in underlying Funds. In addition, total Fund expenses will increase if a Fund makes a new or further investment in underlying Funds with higher fees or expenses than the average fees and expenses of the underlying Funds then in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Funds also are indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying Funds. Because some underlying Funds (e.g., many of the Fixed Income Funds) in turn invest a substantial portion of their assets in other GMO Funds (pursuant to an exemptive order obtained from the SEC), the Asset Allocation Funds have more tiers of investments than funds in many other groups of investment companies. Funds that invest in shares of other GMO Funds also are likely to be subject to Large Shareholder Risk because underlying GMO Funds are more likely to have large shareholders (e.g., other GMO Funds). See “Large Shareholder Risk” above.

Investments in ETFs involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index the ETF is designed to track. Unlike the index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track also may diverge because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, ETFs often use derivatives to track the performance of the relevant index, and, therefore, investments in those ETFs are subject to the same derivatives risks discussed above.

• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Some of the Funds are not “diversified” investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means they are allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S. currencies. As a result, they may be subject to greater credit, market and other risks, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on their performance, than if they were “diversified.”

The following Funds are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act:

    Quality Fund
    U.S. Intrinsic Value Fund


    U.S. Growth Fund
    U.S. Flexible Equities Fund
    Real Estate Fund

Temporary Defensive Positions. The following paragraphs provide additional information about whether, and to what extent, the Funds take temporary defensive positions.

The Funds (other than Quality Fund) normally do not take temporary defensive positions.

Quality Fund reserves the right to make tactical allocations of up to 20% of its net assets to investments in cash and high quality debt investments.

To the extent a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Funds’ portfolios. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.

The Funds may use derivatives as substitutes for direct investment in securities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. Quality Fund and U.S. Flexible Equities Fund also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Funds also may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). Quality Fund and U.S. Flexible Equities Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Funds may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

In addition, the Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices, and in the case of Quality Fund and U.S. Flexible Equities Fund, currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting their investment exposures, Quality Fund and U.S. Flexible Equities Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust their currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by their portfolio investments.

The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Funds may have investment exposures in excess of their net assets. (i.e. they may be leveraged).

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investments and other risks” above for further information.

Forward currency contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are not collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (unless the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.


Options

The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, that Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The Funds value OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

Swap agreements

The Funds may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.


For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Generally, the Funds price their swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.

Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

^ Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

   (Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(1) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of November 30, 2012, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

(2) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

^ Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

   (Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
(1) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of November 30, 2012, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
(2) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

^ Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

   (Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(1) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of November 30, 2012, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

(2) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

As of November 30, 2012, for the above contracts and/or agreements, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover any commitments or collateral requirements of the relevant broker or exchange.

^ Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

  (Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(1) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of November 30, 2012, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

(2) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

^ Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

   (Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(1) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of November 30, 2012, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

(2) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

^ Receive - Fund receives premium and sells credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. (Pay) - Fund pays premium and buys credit protection. If a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional
  amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(1) Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on the reference security, as of November 30, 2012, serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and reflect the likelihood or risk of default for the reference entity. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection. Wider (i.e. higher) credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

(2) The maximum potential amount the Fund could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

Basis of presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value a Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation: Special Purpose Holding Fund (“SPHF”)

The accompanying consolidated schedule of investments for SPHF include the accounts of its majority owned investments in SPV I, LLC (“SPV”). The consolidated schedule of investments include 100% of the assets and liabilities of SPV and the ownership interests of participants in SPV other than SPHF are recorded as a noncontrolling interest.

Portfolio valuation

Typically, the Funds and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent quoted price supplied by a single pricing source chosen by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”). Although the Manager normally does not evaluate pricing sources on a day-to-day basis, it does evaluate pricing sources on an ongoing basis and may change a pricing source at any time. The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. Although alternative prices may be available for securities held by the Funds and the underlying funds, those alternative sources are not typically part of the valuation process and do not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Funds and the underlying funds. See the table below for information about securities for which no alternative pricing source was available. In the case of non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less, the instrument may be valued at amortized cost which approximates market value, if the issuer is deemed to represent minimal credit risk.

Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event the Manager deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. Shares of open-end registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (the “Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives, if any, that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Funds and/or the underlying funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a debt instrument is not available by the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value on any business day, the Funds will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

 

   


As discussed above, certain of the Funds and underlying funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or which may have been valued using prices for which no alternative pricing source was available. The net aggregate direct and/or indirect exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Funds’ net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:

  * Represents the interest in securities that are defaulted and were determined to have a fair value of zero at November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012.

U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). At November 30, 2012, certain Funds directly held material Level 3 investments in asset-backed securities (Debt Opportunities Fund, Emerging Country Debt Fund, Short-Duration Collateral Fund and World Opportunity Overlay Fund), foreign government debt obligations (Emerging Country Debt Fund) and loans (Emerging Country Debt Fund). Each Fund values these investments using unadjusted prices supplied by a third party pricing source as described in the Portfolio Valuation note. Additionally, Short-Duration Collateral Fund held material Level 3 U.S. government agency debt obligations subject to this standard. See the “Additional Level 3 information” table below for further information regarding the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value of these instruments. Other than as described in this paragraph, there were no other Funds with classes of investments or derivatives with direct material Level 3 holdings.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

 

   


The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost; certain U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, certain sovereign debt obligations, and corporate bonds; certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts; and certain restricted securities.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to certain debt securities (such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, loans and sovereign debt) even though they are valued using broker quotes; certain debt securities and derivatives adjusted by a specified discount for liquidity or other considerations; certain sovereign debt securities using comparable securities issued by the sovereign adjusted by a specified spread; certain derivatives using third party valuation services; securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; potential litigation recoveries and interests related to bankruptcy proceedings valued at zero; and third-party investment funds where valuations are provided by fund sponsors and which are adjusted for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information.

The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

The risks referenced in the tables above are not intended to be inclusive of all risks. Please see the “Investment and other risks” and “Derivative financial instruments” sections below for a further discussion of risks.

 

  * The tables above are based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. The uncertainties surrounding the valuation inputs for a derivative are likely to be more significant to the Funds’ net asset values than the uncertainties surrounding inputs for a non-derivative security with the same market value.
  ** Represents the interest in securities that are defaulted and were determined to have a fair value of zero at November 30, 2012 and February 29, 2012.

Additional Level 3 Information

The following table presents additional information about valuation techniques and inputs used for securities and derivatives, if any, that are measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3 as of November 30, 2012.

 

           
Fund Name   Description   Fair Value at

fair value due to
range of
liquidity discount,
$28,115,646 to
$29,890,657 or
approximately
0.21% of Fund
net assets.

 

  * The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of Short-Duration Collateral Fund’s U.S. Agency for International Development Floater (Support of Morocco, Peru and Tunisia) is the liquidity discount, expressed as a premium ranging from 75 — 175 basis points (currently 125 basis points) over the current yield curve. Increases (decreases) in this input would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The underlying funds held at period end are classified above as Level 1 or Level 2. For the summary of valuation inputs (including Level 3 inputs, if any) of the underlying funds, please refer to the underlying funds’ portfolio valuation notes.

For all Funds for the period ended November 30, 2012, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) , generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Loan agreements and participations

The Funds (except Short-Duration Collateral Fund, Short-Duration Collateral Share Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund) may invest in loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, (i) a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and that Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. When a Fund purchases assignments of loans, it generally acquires direct rights against the borrower. Loan agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Repurchase agreements

The Funds (except SPHF) may enter into repurchase agreements. Under a repurchase agreement a Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. That Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of securities it acquired under the repurchase agreement. The value of the securities acquired may be less than the amount owed to that Fund by the seller. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults or enters into insolvency proceedings and/or the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement is insufficient, that Fund’s recovery of cash from the seller may be delayed and, even if that Fund is able to dispose of the securities, the Fund may incur a loss equal to the difference between the cash it paid and the value of the securities. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

   


Reverse repurchase agreements

The Funds (except SPHF) may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement a Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by that Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund can use the proceeds received from entering into a reverse repurchase agreement to make additional investments, which generally causes that Fund’s portfolio to behave as if it were leveraged. If the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of those securities and the payment it received for them. The size of this loss will depend upon the difference between what the buyer paid for the securities the Fund sold to it and the value of those securities (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100). In the event of a buyer’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. As of November 30, 2012, the Funds listed below had entered into reverse repurchase agreements:

 

     
Fund Name   Received from
reverse repurchase
agreements ($)
  Market value of
securities plus
accrued interest ($)
World Opportunity Overlay Fund   48,341,430   50,672,994

Inflation-indexed bonds

The Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is adjusted periodically according to the rate of inflation. Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that reflects inflation in the principal value of the bond. Most other issuers pay out any inflation related accruals as part of a semiannual coupon.

The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates, in turn, are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates (i.e., stated interest rates) and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates (i.e. nominal interest rate minus inflation) might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. There can be no assurance, however, that the value of inflation-indexed bonds will be directly correlated to changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their value. Coupon payments received by a Fund from inflation-indexed bonds are included in the Funds’ gross income for the period in which they accrue. In addition, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will increase or decrease taxable ordinary income to the Fund, even though principal is not paid until maturity. Inflation-indexed bonds outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Delayed delivery commitments and when-issued securities

The Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The purchase of when-issued or delayed delivery securities can cause a Fund’s portfolio to be leveraged. Delayed delivery commitments outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Other matters

Emerging Country Debt Fund (“ECDF”)

In December 2005, ECDF entered into litigation against the Government of Argentina (“Argentina”) relating to Argentina’s failure to make payments on sovereign debt held by ECDF. A judgment was awarded in ECDF’s favor on September 24, 2007; however, ECDF’s ability to collect on this judgment remains uncertain, and ECDF is not able to transfer or sell the judgment without court consent. In late May 2010, Argentina commenced a public debt exchange in which certain defaulted debts, including legal judgments on those debts, were eligible to be exchanged for currently performing Argentina Bonds. The eligible portion of ECDF’s judgment was tendered in the debt exchange and ECDF received new bonds in June 2010. The remaining portion of ECDF’s judgment, which continues to be valued according to ECDF’s valuation policy, represented 1.3% of the net assets of ECDF as of November 30, 2012.

Peru Trust, Series 1998 I-P; Peru Trust, Series 97-I-P; and Peru Trust II, Series 98-A LB (the “Peru Trusts”) held by ECDF are currently in default. The Peru Trusts hold obligations of Istituto per i Servizi Assicurativi e il Credito all’Espotazione (“SACE”), the Italian Agency for Insurance of Export Credits. The obligations are payable only to the extent SACE recovers amounts from the Government of Peru (“Peru”) in relation to certain export insurance policies. Peru fully paid all of its obligations to SACE on August 24, 2009; however, payments to the Peru Trusts by SACE remain outstanding. Litigation between the Peru Trusts and SACE is pending in Italy with respect to the outstanding payments.

 

   


The Peru Trusts’ ability to recover such payments, and ECDF’s corresponding ability to receive payment with respect to its investment in the Peru Trusts, remains uncertain. The Peru Trusts, which continue to be valued according to ECDF’s valuation policy, represented less than 0.1% of the net assets of ECDF as of November 30, 2012. Costs associated with this action are borne by ECDF.

In connection with ECDF’s purchase of Venezuelan bonds between 2000 and 2002, ECDF acquired warrants which (along with related payments on those warrants) have not been received in custody. While ECDF’s trading counterparty has acknowledged its delivery obligation, delivery of the warrants remains outstanding. ECDF entered into litigation in February 2012 against ICAP PLC and related entities to seek to enforce ECDF’s rights with respect to the delivery of the warrants. Because there can be no assurance that ECDF will receive the warrants (or related payments), ECDF values the warrants at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the discretion of the Trustees of GMO Trust.

Special Purpose Holding Fund

One of the Fund’s principal investments is units of SPV, which in turn holds an interest in liquidating trusts related to NPF Securities (health care asset-backed receivables). In November 2002, National Century Financial Enterprises (“NCFE”), which organized and administered the Issuers and the NPF Securities, defaulted on its obligations with respect to the NPF Securities. The NPF Securities had been acquired by the Fund prior to this default. NCFE and its affiliates are alleged to have violated the terms of the bonds’ indentures by, among other things, purportedly spending cash collateral, accepting collateral other than permitted receivables, moving receivables between trusts to meet compliance tests and reimbursing health care providers for more than the value of receivables purchased. NCFE, its affiliated operations (including the Issuers), and many of the health care providers declared bankruptcy.

In November 2002, the NPF Securities were transferred to SPV to facilitate the redemption of the NPF Securities in-kind, if necessary, to protect the interests of non-redeeming shareholders. In connection with SPHF’s placement of the NPF Securities in SPV, SPHF assigned to SPV the right to any proceeds received in connection with any claims or actions against various parties arising out of SPHF’s purchase of the NPF Securities (including those described below). SPHF’s pro rata portion of the costs associated with SPHF’s attempted recovery of losses associated with the NPF Securities will be borne by SPHF, subject to a priority reimbursement of such costs by SPV in the event SPV receives any proceeds in connection with any claims or actions.

In 2003, SPHF joined with certain other holders of the NPF Securities in filing a lawsuit against certain parties related to the NCFE offerings, including the indenture trustees, underwriters, and certain other parties. In April 2004, a plan of liquidation was approved by the bankruptcy court with respect to NCFE and its affiliated operations (including the Issuers). Pursuant to such plan, SPV received cash distributions, which were distributed, less expenses, to holders of SPV, including SPHF. SPV also received interests in liquidating trusts, which it continues to hold. In July 2005 and April 2006, SPHF entered into settlement agreements with two of the defendants in the lawsuit and received (through its investment in SPV) cash settlements in connection therewith. Litigation against the remaining defendants continues at this time.

The outcome of the lawsuits against the remaining defendants is not known and any potential recoveries are not reflected in the net asset value of SPHF. To the extent additional recoveries are realized, such recoveries may be material to the net asset value of SPHF.

Funds which hold Special Purpose Holding Fund

SPHF, an investment of some of the Funds, has litigation pending against various entities related to the 2002 fraud and related default of securities previously held by SPHF. The outcome of the lawsuits against the remaining defendants is not known and any potential recoveries are not reflected in the net asset value of SPHF. During the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds received no distributions from SPHF in connection with the defaulted securities or the related litigation.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time.

Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds and other investment companies is exposed to the risks to which the underlying funds in which it invests are exposed. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and, references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund through other GMO Funds and other investment companies.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.


• MARKET RISK. All of the Funds are subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of their holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Fixed Income Investments Risk — Funds that invest in fixed income securities (including bonds, notes, bills, synthetic debt instruments and asset-backed securities) are subject to various market risks. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to a number of market-related factors, including rising (or, in some limited cases, declining) interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity that reflect the market’s uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments). In addition, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities and sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments, can decline due to market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. During periods of economic uncertainty and change, the market price of a Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) may be particularly volatile. Often junk bonds are subject to greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes than higher rated bonds and can be more difficult to value, resulting in differences between the prices realized on their sale and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. See “Credit Risk” and “Liquidity Risk” below for more information about these risks.

A principal risk run by each Fund with a significant investment in fixed income securities is that an increase (or, in some limited cases, a decrease) in prevailing interest rates will cause the market price of those securities to decline. The risk associated with such changes in interest rates (also called “interest rate risk”) is generally greater for Funds investing in fixed income securities with longer durations and in some cases duration can increase.

The extent to which a fixed income security’s price changes with changes in interest rates is referred to as interest rate duration, which can be measured mathematically or empirically. A longer-maturity investment generally has longer interest rate duration because the investment’s fixed rate is locked in for a longer period of time. Floating-rate or adjustable-rate securities, however, generally have shorter interest rate durations because their interest rates are not fixed but rather float up and down as interest rates change. Conversely, inverse floating-rate securities have durations that move in the opposite direction from short-term interest rates and thus tend to underperform fixed rate securities when interest rates rise but outperform them when interest rates decline. Fixed income securities paying no interest, such as zero coupon and principal-only securities, create additional interest rate risk.

The price of inflation indexed bonds (including Inflation-Protected Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury (“TIPS”)) normally changes when real interest rates change. Their value typically will decline during periods of rising real interest rates (i.e., nominal interest rate minus inflation) and increase during periods of declining real interest rates. Real interest rates may not fluctuate in the same manner as nominal interest rates. In some interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, the price of inflation indexed bonds may decline more than the price of non-inflation indexed (or nominal) fixed income bonds with similar maturities. The price of a Fund’s inflation indexed bonds, however, will not necessarily change in the same proportion as changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their price. Moreover, if the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation indexed bond investments will be adjusted downward, and, consequently, the interest they pay (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. In the case of TIPS, the U.S. government guarantees the repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation). The risks associated with inflation indexed bonds are particularly pronounced for Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Fund, which has significant exposure to TIPS and other inflation indexed bonds.

Generally, when interest rates on short term U.S. Treasury obligations equal or approach zero, a Fund that invests a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations, such as U.S. Treasury Fund, will have a negative return unless the Manager waives or reduces its management fees.

Market risk for fixed income securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies is also affected by currency risk. See “Currency Risk” below.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Investments in asset-backed securities not only are subject to all of the market risks described above for fixed income securities but to other market risks as well.

Funds investing in asset-backed securities are exposed to the risk that these securities experience severe credit downgrades, illiquidity, defaults, and declines in market value. These risks are particularly acute during periods of adverse market conditions, such as those that occurred in 2008. Asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, and credit-card receivables. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations” or “collateralized loan obligations”) and by the fees earned by service providers.

As described under “Market Risk — Fixed Income Investments Risk” above, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities, can decline due to a number of factors, including market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flow generated by the assets backing the securities, as well as the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other

 

   


support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any, and the reliability of various other service providers with access to the payment stream. A problem in any one of these areas can lead to a decrease in the payment stream expected by a Fund at the time it purchased the asset-backed security. Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default and the value of the defaulted obligations exceeds whatever credit support the securities may have. Asset-backed securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans, in particular, may cause a Fund to suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults, as sub-prime mortgage loans are typically made to less creditworthy borrowers and thus have a higher risk of default than conventional mortgage loans. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of asset-backed securities) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. As of the date of this report, many asset-backed securities owned by the Funds that were once rated investment grade are now rated below investment grade. See “Credit Risk” below for more information about credit risk.

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that occurred and became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured, and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying assets) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities. These events reduced liquidity and contributed to substantial declines in the market prices of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. These conditions may occur again. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages) have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities.

The market price of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying assets. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays. The obligations underlying asset-backed securities, in particular securities backed by pools of residential and commercial mortgages, also are subject to unscheduled prepayment, and a Fund may be unable to invest prepayments at as high a yield as was provided by the asset-backed security.

In addition, the existence of insurance on an asset-based security does not guarantee that the principal and/or interest will be paid because the insurer could default on its obligations. In recent years, a significant number of asset-backed security insurers have defaulted on their obligations.

The risk of investing in asset-backed securities has increased since the deterioration in worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above because performance of the various sectors in which the assets underlying asset-backed securities are concentrated (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit card receivables) has become more highly correlated. See “Focused Investment Risk” below for more information about risks of investing in correlated sectors. A single financial institution may serve as a trustee for many asset-backed securities. As a result, a disruption in that institution’s business may have a material impact on many investments.

• CREDIT RISK. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment will be unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligation to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor its obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the issuer’s or guarantor’s failure to meet its payment obligations or the downgrading of its credit rating. This risk is particularly acute in environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

All fixed income securities are subject to credit risk. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer are the primary factors influencing credit risk. The risk varies depending upon whether the issuer is a corporation or U.S. or non-U.S. government (or sub-division or instrumentality) and whether the particular security has a priority over other obligations of the issuer in payment of principal and interest and whether it has any collateral backing or credit enhancement. Credit risk may change over the life of a fixed income security. U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon whether the securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, supported by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, supported only by the credit of the issuing U.S. government agency, instrumentality, or corporation, or otherwise supported by the United States. For example, issuers of many types of U.S. government securities (e.g., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), and Federal Home Loan Banks), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by Congressional appropriations and their fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. government. These securities are subject to more credit risk than U.S. government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds). Investments in sovereign debt involve the risk that the governmental entities responsible for repayment may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due. A governmental entity’s willingness or ability to pay interest and repay principal in a timely manner may be affected by a variety of factors, including its cash flow, the size of its reserves, its access to foreign exchange, the relative size of its debt service burden to its economy as a

 

   


whole, and political constraints. Investments in quasi-sovereign issuers are subject to the additional risk that the issuer may default independently of its sovereign. Sovereign debt risk is greater for emerging market securities.

In some cases, the credit risk of a fixed income security is reflected in its credit ratings, and a Fund holding such a security is subject to the risk that its rating will be downgraded.

As described under “Market Risk — Asset-Backed Securities Risk” above, asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets and their payment of interest and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the assets backing them. The credit risk of a particular asset-backed security depends on many factors, as described in “Market Risk — Asset Backed Securities Risk” above.

The obligations of issuers also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. A Fund also is exposed to credit risk on a reference security to the extent it writes protection under credit default swaps. See “Derivatives Risk” below for more information regarding risks associated with the use of credit default swaps.

The extent to which the price of a fixed income security changes in response to a credit event depends on a number of factors and can be difficult to predict. For example, floating rate securities may have final maturities of ten or more years, but their effective durations will tend to be very short. If the issuer of floating rate securities experiences an adverse credit event, or a change occurs in its perceived creditworthiness, the price of its securities could decline much more than would be predicted by the change in their yield in relation to their effective duration.

Credit risk is particularly pronounced for below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The sovereign debt of many non-U.S. governments, including their sub-divisions and instrumentalities, is below investment grade. Many asset-backed securities also are below investment grade. Below investment grade securities have speculative characteristics, often are less liquid than higher quality securities, present a greater risk of default and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse industry conditions. In the event of default of sovereign debt, the Funds may be unable to pursue legal action against the sovereign issuer.

• LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents a Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. A Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). All of the Funds are subject to liquidity risk to some extent but those with the greatest risk have principal investment strategies that involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.

All of the Funds with benchmarks may buy securities that are less liquid than those in their benchmarks.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. The Funds may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and other OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, a Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts, or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

A Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., foreign currency contracts), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, a Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Funds may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a

 

   


pronounced effect on the Funds. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, a Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.

Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of a Fund, the Funds will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce a Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When a Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.

• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities are subject to additional and more varied risks than Funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. A Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).

Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes a Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments. In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of a Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

 

   


Funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets) are subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than Funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in a Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.

• CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund’s investments are traded, in which a Fund receives income or in which a Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

Many of the Funds use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of their portfolios. As a result, their currency exposure may differ (in some cases significantly) from the currency exposure of their benchmarks. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, a Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and a Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.

Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).

• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.

A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments.

Similarly, Funds having a significant portion of their assets in investments tied economically to (or related to) a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country (e.g., Taiwan) or particular market (e.g., emerging markets) have more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., a Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional

 

   


principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. A Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest costs based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. A Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

A Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, a Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

• COUNTERPARTY RISK. Funds that enter into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or that lend their securities run the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that a Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose a Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. A Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to a Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when a Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases a Fund’s counterparty risk. Funds that use swap agreements are subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.

The Funds also are subject to counterparty risk because they execute their securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Funds could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments they would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Funds.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.

• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Funds’ investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation,

 

   


investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. During such market disruptions, the Funds’ exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investments and other risk” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Funds from implementing their investment programs for a period of time and achieving their investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Funds’ derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates, or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Funds are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset Allocation Funds and separate accounts managed by the Manager for its clients hold substantial percentages of many Funds, and asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) those Funds. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). In addition, each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk is indirectly subject to this risk.

• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Each Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

For some Funds the Manager’s portfolio managers use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Funds also are subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent a Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Funds for losses resulting from their errors.

• FUND OF FUNDS RISK AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. Funds that invest in shares of other investment companies, including other GMO Funds, money market funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) (for purposes of this risk disclosure, “underlying Funds”), are exposed to the risk that the underlying Funds will not perform as expected.

Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying Funds in which it invests (absent reimbursement of those expenses), the Fund will incur additional expenses when investing in underlying Funds. In addition, total Fund expenses will increase if a Fund makes a new or further investment in underlying Funds with higher fees or expenses than the average fees and expenses of the underlying Funds then in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Funds also are indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying Funds. Funds that invest in shares of other GMO Funds also are likely to be subject to Large Shareholder Risk because underlying GMO Funds are more likely to have large shareholders (e.g., other GMO Funds). See “Large Shareholder Risk” above.

Investments in ETFs involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index the ETF is designed to track. Unlike the index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track also may diverge

 

   


because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, ETFs often use derivatives to track the performance of the relevant index, and, therefore, investments in those ETFs are subject to the same derivatives risks discussed above.

• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Some of the Funds are not “diversified” investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means they are allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S. currencies. As a result, they may be subject to greater credit, market and other risks, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on their performance, than if they were “diversified.”

All of the Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act.

In addition, each of the Funds (other than U.S. Treasury Fund) invests a portion of its assets in shares of one or more other GMO Funds that are not diversified investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

• LITIGATION-RELATED RISK. The ultimate amount of Special Purpose Holding Fund’s recovery (through its investment in SPV) of losses on the defaulted NPF Securities and the total costs the Special Purpose Holding Fund may incur with respect to its funding of litigation related to the NPF Securities is unknown at this time. Therefore, Special Purpose Holding Fund is subject to the risk that SPV may ultimately be unable to recover certain losses related to the NPF Securities. This could occur because an insufficient amount of money or other assets is (or has been) paid to SPV out of the bankruptcy estates of NCFE, its affiliated operations, and certain other related entities and/or is (or has been) paid to Special Purpose Holding Fund in connection with litigation related to the NPF Securities. In addition, any cash reserves of Special Purpose Holding Fund and any recovery by Special Purpose Holding Fund as a result of the litigation or bankruptcy claims may be used to offset costs with respect to the litigation rather than to recover losses on the defaulted NPF Securities. Special Purpose Holding Fund (through its investment in SPV) has received distributions out of the bankruptcy estate of NCFE and its affiliated operations, but it is uncertain whether or not more distributions may follow. In addition, Special Purpose Holding Fund (through its investment in SPV) has received cash settlements against certain defendants related to the NCFE offerings, but the litigation against the remaining defendants is not predictable, and the amount of time it may take to settle the remaining litigation is unknown at this time.

Temporary Defensive Positions. If deemed prudent by the Manager, the Funds (other than Domestic Bond Fund, Short-Duration Collateral Fund, Short-Duration Collateral Share Fund, Special Purpose Holding Fund and U.S. Treasury Fund) may take temporary defensive positions. Many of the Funds have previously taken temporary defensive positions and have exercised the right to honor redemption requests in-kind.

To the extent a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Derivative financial instruments

Information in this section is applicable for all Funds except Special Purpose Holding Fund.

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Funds’ portfolios. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.

The Funds may use derivatives as substitutes for direct investment in securities or other assets. In particular, the Funds may use swaps or other derivatives on an index, a single security, or a basket of securities to gain investment exposures (e.g., by selling protection under a credit default swap). The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). For example, a Fund may use credit default swaps to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default by an issuer. A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For instance, the Manager may alter the interest rate exposure of debt instruments by employing interest rate swaps. Such a strategy is designed to maintain the Fund’s exposure to the credit of an issuer through the debt instrument but adjust the Fund’s interest rate exposure through the swap. With these swaps, the Fund and its counterparties exchange interest rate exposure, such as fixed versus variable rates and shorter duration versus longer duration exposure. In adjusting their investment exposures, a Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by its portfolio investments.

 

   


Each of the Funds is not limited in its use of derivatives or in the absolute face value of its derivative positions. As a result of their derivative positions, the Funds will typically have (or may have, in the case of Domestic Bond Fund) gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund will be (or may be, in the case of Domestic Bond Fund) leveraged) and therefore are subject to heightened risk of loss. The Funds’ (other than Domestic Bond Fund) performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on derivative reference assets that the Funds do not own.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investments and other risks” above for further information.

Forward currency contracts

The Funds (except U.S. Treasury Fund) may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Options

The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, that Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. The Funds value OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

Swap agreements

The Funds may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap

 

   


agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Generally, the Funds price their swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors and record the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.

Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Additionally, Emerging Country Debt Fund owns warrants linked to the price of oil. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

Basis of presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value a Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Portfolio valuation

Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”) deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. In the case of non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less, the instrument, may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, if the issuer is deemed to present minimal credit risk. Shares of open-end registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (the “Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives, if any, that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Funds and/or underlying funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

The foregoing pricing methodologies are modified for equity securities listed on foreign exchanges and that trade in securities markets that are closed prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the value will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close. The table below shows the percentage of the net assets of the Funds, held either directly or through investments in the underlying funds, that were valued using fair value prices obtained from that independent pricing service as of November 30, 2012. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as being valued using Level 2 inputs (levels defined below) in the table below.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a security is not available by the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value on any business day, the Funds will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

As discussed above, certain of the Funds and underlying funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or using fair value inputs obtained from an independent pricing service. The net aggregate direct and/or indirect exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Funds’ net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:

U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2, and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). At November 30, 2012, there were no direct material Level 3 classes of investments or derivatives with significant unobservable inputs subject to this additional disclosure.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost; certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; certain restricted securities; non-exchange traded equity securities; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to, securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; third-party investment funds where valuations are provided by fund sponsors and which are adjusted for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information; certain securities that are valued at the local price and adjusted by applying a premium or discount when the holdings exceed foreign ownership limitations; and certain derivatives using third party valuation services.


The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

The risks referenced in the tables above are not intended to be inclusive of all risks. Please see the “Investment and other risks” and “Derivative financial instruments” sections below for a further discussion of risks.

 

  * The tables above are based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. The uncertainties surrounding the valuation inputs for a derivative are likely to be more significant to the Funds’ net asset values than the uncertainties surrounding inputs for a non-derivative security with the same market value.
  ** Represents the interest in securities that were determined to have a fair value of zero at November 30, 2012.

The underlying funds held at year end are classified above as Level 1. For the summary of valuation inputs (including Level 3 inputs, if any) of the underlying funds, please refer to the underlying funds’ portfolio valuation notes.

For all Funds for the period ended November 30, 2012, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

The following is a reconciliation of securities and derivatives, if any, in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value:

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time.

Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds and other investment companies is exposed to the risks to which the underlying funds in which it invests are exposed. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and, references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund through other GMO Funds and other investment companies.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.


• MARKET RISK. All of the Funds are subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of their holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Equity Securities Risk — Funds with equity investments run the risk that the market prices of those investments will decline. The market price of an equity investment may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company, such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services. It also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry, such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages or increased production costs. In addition, market prices may decline as a result of general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity investments generally have greater price volatility than fixed income and other investments with a scheduled stream of payments, and the market price of equity investments is more susceptible to moving up or down in a rapid or unpredictable manner.

The Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets in equities and generally do not take temporary defensive positions. As a result, declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset values of those Funds’ shares.

If a Fund purchases equity investments at a discount from their value as determined by the Manager, the Fund runs the risk that the market prices of these investments will not appreciate to or decline from that value for a variety of reasons, one of which may be the Manager’s overestimation of the value of those investments.

Equity investments trading at high multiples of current earnings are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than securities trading at lower multiples. At times when the market is concerned that these expectations may not be met, the market prices of those securities typically fall.

Because of Risk Premium Fund’s emphasis on selling put options on stock indices, the Fund’s shares are expected to decline in value when those indices decline in value. Also, Risk Premium Fund’s investment strategy of selling put options on stock indices will likely cause the Fund to underperform the equity markets in sharply rising markets.

• OPTIONS RISK. There are various risks associated with transactions in exchange-traded and OTC options. The market value of options written by the Fund will be affected by many factors, including changes in the value of underlying securities or indices; changes in the dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities comprising such indices); changes in interest rates or exchange rates; changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and underlying securities; and the remaining time to an option’s expiration. The market value of an option also may be adversely affected if the market for the option is reduced or becomes less liquid. In addition, since an American style option allows the holder to exercise its rights any time prior to expiration of the option, the writer of an American style option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligations as a writer of the option. This risk is not present when writing a European style option since the holder may only exercise the option on its expiration date. If the Fund writes a call option and does not hold the underlying security or instrument, the amount of the Fund’s potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

National securities exchanges generally have established limits on the maximum number of options an investor or group of investors acting in concert may write. The Fund, the Manager, and other funds advised by the Manager may constitute such a group. These limits could restrict the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell options on a particular security.

Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the Fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets. Therefore, OTC options generally expose the Fund to greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded. Purchasing and selling put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary market risks.

Special tax rules apply to the Fund’s transactions in options, which could increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. In particular, the Fund’s options transactions potentially could cause a substantial portion of the Fund’s income to consist of net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

• LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents a Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. A Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). All of the Funds are subject to liquidity risk to some extent but those with the greatest risk have principal investment strategies that involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.


All of the Funds with benchmarks may buy securities that are less liquid than those in their benchmarks.

Risk Premium Fund’s ability to use options as part of its investment program depends on the liquidity of the markets in those instruments. In addition, there can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when Risk Premium Fund seeks to close out an option position. Also, the hours of trading for options on an exchange may not conform to the hours during which the securities held by the Fund are traded. To the extent that the options markets close before the markets for the underlying securities, significant price and rate movements can take place in the underlying markets that may not be reflected in the options markets. If Risk Premium Fund receives a redemption request and is unable to close out an option that it has sold, the Fund may temporarily be leveraged in relation to its net assets.

• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Companies with smaller market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap companies, may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may lack the competitive strength of larger companies, or may lack managers with experience or depend on a few key employees. In addition, their securities often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. In addition, market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for securities of these companies.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. The Funds may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and other OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, a Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts, or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

A Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., forward currency contracts), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, a Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Funds may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a pronounced effect on the Funds. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, a Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.

Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of a Fund, the Funds will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce a Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When a Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.


• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities are subject to additional and more varied risks than Funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. A Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).

Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes a Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments.

In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of a Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

Funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets) are subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than Funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in a Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.

 CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund’s investments are traded, in which a Fund receives income or in which a Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

Many of the Funds use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of their portfolios. As a result, their currency exposure may differ (in some cases significantly) from the currency exposure of their benchmarks. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, a Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and a Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.

Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).


• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.

A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments.

Similarly, Funds having a significant portion of their assets in investments tied economically to (or related to) a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country (e.g., Taiwan) or particular market (e.g., emerging markets) have more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Because Risk Premium Fund can have substantial exposure through a limited number of options contracts and because the Fund’s exposures may relate to a relatively small number of U.S. and/or international stock indices, the Fund is subject to additional risk.

 LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., a Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. A Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest cost based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. A Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

A Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, a Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

 COUNTERPARTY RISK. Funds that enter into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or that lend their securities run the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that a Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose a Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. A Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to a Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when a Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases a Fund’s counterparty risk. Funds that use swap agreements are subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.


The Funds also are subject to counterparty risk because they execute their securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Funds could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments they would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Funds.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.

 MARKET RISK — Fixed Income Securities. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to a number of market-related factors, primarily an increase in prevailing interest rates. The risk associated with such changes in interest rates (also called “interest rate risk”) is generally greater for fixed income securities with longer durations and in some cases duration can increase.

The extent to which a fixed income security’s price changes with changes in interest rates is referred to as interest rate duration, which can be measured mathematically or empirically. A longer maturity investment generally has longer interest rate duration because the investment’s fixed rate is locked in for a longer period of time. Floating-rate or adjustable-rate securities, however, generally have shorter interest rate durations because their interest rates are not fixed but rather float up and down as interest rates change. Conversely, inverse floating-rate securities have durations that move in the opposite direction from short-term interest rates and thus tend to underperform fixed rate securities when interest rates rise but outperform them when interest rates decline. Fixed income securities paying no interest, such as zero coupon and principal-only securities, create additional interest rate risk.

Generally, when interest rates on short term U.S. Treasury obligations equal or approach zero, a Fund that invests a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations, such as U.S. Treasury Fund, will have a negative return unless the Manager waives or reduces its management fees.

 CREDIT RISK. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment will be unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligation to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor its obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the issuer’s or guarantor’s failure to meet its payment obligations or the downgrading of its credit rating. This risk is particularly acute in environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon whether the securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, supported by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, supported only by the credit of the issuing U.S. government agency, instrumentality, or corporation, or otherwise supported by the United States. For example, issuers of many types of U.S. government securities (e.g., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), and Federal Home Loan Banks), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by Congressional appropriations and their fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. government. These securities are subject to more credit risk than U.S. government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds). Investments in sovereign debt involve the risk that the governmental entities responsible for repayment may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due. A governmental entity’s willingness or ability to pay interest and repay principal in a timely manner may be affected by a variety of factors, including its cash flow, the size of its reserves, its access to foreign exchange, the relative size of its debt service burden to its economy as a whole, and political constraints. In addition, payment of the principal of fixed income securities issued by the U.S. government can be delayed because the guarantee generally only requires payment upon maturity of the securities.

 SHORT SALES RISK. Some Funds may use short sales in their investment programs in an attempt to increase their returns or for hedging purposes.

In implementing its principal investment strategy, Flexible Equities Fund is permitted to engage in short sales of securities or currencies that it does not own. To do so, the Fund borrows a security (e.g., shares of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”)) or currency from a broker and sells it to a third party. This type of short sale exposes the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities or currencies to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities or currencies sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. If a Fund engages in short sales of securities or currencies it does not own, it may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities or currencies and must pay to the lender any dividends or interest it receives on the securities or currencies while they are borrowed. In addition, purchasing securities or currencies to close out a short position can itself cause the price of the securities or currencies to rise further, thereby exacerbating any losses.

Short sales of securities or currencies the Fund does not own involves a form of investment leverage, and the amount of a Fund’s potential loss is theoretically unlimited. Accordingly, Flexible Equities Fund is subject to increased leveraging risk and other investment risks described in this “Investment and other risks” section to the extent it sells short securities or currencies it does not own.


 NATURAL RESOURCES RISK. Resources Fund concentrates its investments in the natural resources sector, and so is particularly exposed to adverse developments, including adverse price movements, affecting issuers in the natural resources sector and is subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a wider range of industries. In addition, the prices of securities of companies in the natural resources sector may be more volatile than those of securities of companies in other industries. Some of the commodities used as raw materials or produced by these companies are subject to broad price fluctuations as a result of industry wide supply and demand factors. Companies in the natural resources sector often have limited pricing power over supplies or for the products they sell, which can affect their profitability. Companies in the natural resources sector also may be subject to special risks associated with natural or man-made disasters. In addition, the natural resources sector can be especially affected by political and economic developments, government regulations including changes in tax law or interpretations of law, energy conservation, and the success of exploration projects. Specifically, the natural resource sector can be significantly affected by import controls, worldwide competition, changes in consumer sentiment and spending, and can be subject to liability for, among other things, environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control.

Resources Fund’s concentration in the securities of natural resource companies exposes it to the price movements of natural resources to a greater extent than if it were more broadly diversified. Because Resources Fund invests primarily in the natural resources sector, it runs the risk of performing poorly during an economic downturn or a decline in demand for natural resources.

 COMMODITIES RISK. Certain Funds may invest in Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund. Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund has exposure to commodity markets. Therefore, the price of its shares is affected by factors particular to the commodity markets and may decline and fluctuate more than the price of shares of a fund with a broader range of investments. Commodity prices can be extremely volatile and are affected by many factors, including changes in overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates, population growth and changing demographics, nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation, international regulatory, political and economic developments (e.g., regime changes and changes in economic activity levels), and developments affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods or other weather conditions, livestock disease, trade embargoes, competition from substitute products, transportation bottlenecks or shortages, fluctuations in supply and demand and tariffs. Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund invests in commodity-related derivatives. The value of these derivatives may fluctuate more than the commodity or commodities or commodity index to which they relate. Certain Funds are exposed to the risks of investments in commodities to the extent they invest in Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund.

 MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Funds’ investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. During such market disruptions, the Funds’ exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investment and other risks” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Funds from implementing their investment programs for a period of time and achieving their investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Funds’ derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates, or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

 LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Funds are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset Allocation Funds and separate accounts managed by the Manager for its clients hold substantial percentages of many Funds, and asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) those Funds. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). In addition, each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk is indirectly subject to this risk.


 MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Each Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

For some Funds the Manager’s portfolio managers use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Funds also are subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent a Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Funds for losses resulting from their errors.

 FUND OF FUNDS RISK AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. Funds that invest in shares of other investment companies, including other GMO Funds, money market funds and ETFs (for purposes of this risk disclosure, “underlying Funds”), are exposed to the risk that the underlying Funds will not perform as expected.

Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying Funds in which it invests (absent reimbursement of those expenses), the Fund will incur additional expenses when investing in underlying Funds. In addition, total Fund expenses will increase if a Fund makes a new or further investment in underlying Funds with higher fees or expenses than the average fees and expenses of the underlying Funds then in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Funds also are indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying Funds. Because some underlying Funds (e.g., many of the Fixed Income Funds) in turn invest a substantial portion of their assets in other GMO Funds (pursuant to an exemptive order obtained from the SEC), the Asset Allocation Funds have more tiers of investments than funds in many other groups of investment companies. Funds that invest in shares of other GMO Funds also are likely to be subject to Large Shareholder Risk because underlying GMO Funds are more likely to have large shareholders (e.g., other GMO Funds). See “Large Shareholder Risk” above.

Investments in ETFs involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index the ETF is designed to track. Unlike the index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track also may diverge because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, ETFs often use derivatives to track the performance of the relevant index, and, therefore, investments in those ETFs are subject to the same derivatives risks discussed above.

 NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Some of the Funds are not “diversified” investment companies within the meaning of the 1940 Act. This means they are allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S. currencies. As a result, they may be subject to greater credit, market and other risks, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on their performance, than if they were “diversified.”

The following Funds are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act:

 

    Currency Hedged International Equity Fund
    Developed World Stock Fund
    Flexible Equities Fund
    International Intrinsic Value Extended Markets Fund
    Resources Fund
    Risk Premium Fund
    Tax-Managed International Equities Fund

In addition, Currency Hedged International Equity Fund invests a portion of its assets in shares of one or more other GMO Funds that are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act.

Temporary Defensive Positions. The following paragraphs provide additional information about whether, and to what extent, the Funds take temporary defensive positions.

The Funds (other than Flexible Equities Fund) normally do not take temporary defensive positions. Flexible Equities Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions. To the extent a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.


Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Funds’ portfolios. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.

The Funds may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in securities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting their investment exposure, the Funds also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust their currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by their portfolio investments.

The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Funds, other than Risk Premium Fund, may have investment exposures in excess of their net assets (i.e., they may be leveraged). A Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.

While the Manager expects that Risk Premium Fund’s option positions typically will be fully collateralized at the time when the Fund is selling them, from time to time the Fund may have investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., it may be leveraged). For example, if the Fund receives a redemption request and is unable to close out an option it had sold, the Fund may temporarily have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund will be leveraged) and therefore be subject to heightened risk of loss. The Fund’s performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on derivative reference assets that the Fund does not own. The Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investments and other risks” above for further information.

Forward currency contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose the Funds to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are not collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (unless the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Options

The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, that Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation charges through the NYSE close). The Funds value OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.


Swap agreements

The Funds may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Generally, the Funds price their swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.

Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.


As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

Basis of presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value a Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Portfolio valuation

Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”) deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. In the case of non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less, the instrument, may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, if the issuer is deemed to present minimal credit risk. Shares of open-end registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (“the Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives, if any, that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

The foregoing pricing methodologies are modified for equity securities listed on foreign exchanges and that trade in securities markets that are closed prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the value will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close. The table below shows the percentage of the net assets of the Funds that were valued using fair value prices obtained from that independent pricing service as of November 30, 2012. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as being valued using Level 2 inputs (levels defined below) in the table below.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a security is not available by the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value on any business day, the Funds will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

As discussed above, certain of the Funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or using fair value inputs obtained from an independent pricing service. The net aggregate direct and/or indirect exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Funds’ net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:

Foreign Small Companies Fund   —               87.7%                     
Global Focused Equity Fund   0.6%           60.8%                     

U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2, and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, particularly for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At November 30, 2012, there were no direct material Level 3 classes of investments or derivatives with significant unobservable inputs subject to this additional disclosure.


The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost; certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts; certain restricted securities; non-exchange traded equity securities; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to, securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; third-party investment funds where valuations are provided by fund sponsors and which are adjusted for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information; certain securities that are valued at the local price and adjusted by applying a premium or discount when the holdings exceed foreign ownership limitations; and certain derivatives using third party valuation services.


The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time.

Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds and other investment companies is exposed to the risks to which the underlying funds in which it invests are exposed. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and, references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund through other GMO Funds and other investment companies.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

• MARKET RISK. All of the Funds are subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of their holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Equity Securities Risk — Funds with equity investments run the risk that the market prices of those investments will decline. The market price of an equity investment may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company, such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services. It also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry, such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages or increased production costs. In addition, market prices may decline as a result of general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally.

Equity investments generally have greater price volatility than fixed income and other investments with a scheduled stream of payments, and the market price of equity investments is more susceptible to moving up or down in a rapid or unpredictable manner.

The Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets in equities and, generally do not take temporary defensive positions. As a result, declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset values of those Funds’ shares.

If a Fund purchases equity investments at a discount from their value as determined by the Manager, the Fund runs the risk that the market prices of these investments will not appreciate to or decline from that value for a variety of reasons, one of which may be the Manager’s overestimation of the value of those investments.

Equity investments trading at high multiples of current earnings are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than securities trading at lower multiples. At times when the market is concerned that these expectations may not be met, the market prices of those securities typically fall.


• LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents a Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. A Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). All of the Funds are subject to liquidity risk to some extent but those with the greatest risk have principal investment strategies that involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.

All of the Funds with benchmarks may buy securities that are less liquid than those in their benchmarks.

• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Companies with smaller market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap companies, may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may lack the competitive strength of larger companies, or may lack managers with experience or depend on a few key employees. In addition, their securities often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. In addition, market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for securities of these companies.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. All of the Funds may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and other OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, a Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts, or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

A Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., forward currency contracts), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, a Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Funds may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a pronounced effect on the Funds. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, a Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.

Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of a Fund, the Funds will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce a Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When a Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among


other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.

• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities are subject to additional and more varied risks than Funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. A Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).

Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes a Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments.

In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of a Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

Funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets) are subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than Funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in a Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.

• CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund’s investments are traded, in which a Fund receives income or in which a Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

Many of the Funds use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of their portfolios. As a result, their currency exposure may differ (in some cases significantly) from the currency exposure of their benchmarks. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, a Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and a Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.

Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).

• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater


overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.

A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments.

Similarly, Funds having a significant portion of their assets in investments tied economically to (or related to) a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country (e.g., Taiwan) or particular market (e.g., emerging markets) have more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., a Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. A Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest costs based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. A Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

A Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, a Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

• COUNTERPARTY RISK. Funds that enter into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or that lend their securities run the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that a Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose a Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. A Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to a Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when a Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases a Fund’s counterparty risk. Funds that use swap agreements are subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.

The Funds also are subject to counterparty risk because they execute their securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Funds could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments they would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Funds.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.


• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Funds’ investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. During such market disruptions, the Funds’ exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investment and other risks” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Funds from implementing their investment programs for a period of time and achieving their investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Funds’ derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates, or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Funds are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset Allocation Funds and separate accounts managed by the Manager for its clients hold substantial percentages of many Funds, and asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) those Funds. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). In addition, each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk is indirectly subject to this risk.

• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Each Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

For some Funds the Manager’s portfolio managers use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Funds also are subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent a Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Funds for losses resulting from their errors.

• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Some of the Funds are not “diversified” investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means they are allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S. currencies. As a result, they may be subject to greater credit, market and other risks, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on their performance, than if they were “diversified.”

The following Funds are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act.

 

    Foreign Fund
    Global Focused Equity Fund

Temporary Defensive Positions.

The Funds normally do not take temporary defensive positions.

To the extent a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.


Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Funds’ portfolios. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.

The Funds may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in securities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives, to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting their investment exposure, the Funds also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust their currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by their portfolio investments.

The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Funds may have investment exposures in excess of their net assets (i.e. they may be leveraged). A Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investment and other risks” above for further information.

For Funds that held derivatives during the period ended November 30, 2012, the following table shows how the Fund used these derivatives (marked with an x):

Forward currency contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose the Funds to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are not collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (unless the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or


losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Options

The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, that Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation charges through the NYSE close). The Funds value OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

Swap agreements

The Funds may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.


Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Generally, the Funds price their swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.

Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The volume of derivative activity, based on absolute values (forward currency contracts and rights and/or warrants) outstanding at each month-end, if any was as follows for the period ended November 30, 2012.

Basis of presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value a Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Portfolio valuation

Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”) deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted price. Non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost if the issuer is deemed to present minimal credit risk, which approximates market value. Shares of open-end registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (“the Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives, if any, that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

The foregoing pricing methodologies are modified for equity securities listed on foreign exchanges and that trade in securities markets that are closed prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the value will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close. The table below shows the percentage of the net assets of the Funds that were valued using fair value prices obtained from that independent pricing service as of November 30, 2012. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as being valued using Level 2 inputs (levels defined below) in the table below.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a debt instrument is not available by the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value on any business day, the Funds will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

As discussed above, certain of the Funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees or which may have been valued using fair value inputs obtained from an independent pricing service. The net aggregate direct and/or indirect exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Funds’ net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:

U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any, (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). At November 30, 2012, there were no direct material Level 3 classes of investments or derivatives with significant unobservable inputs subject to this additional disclosure.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost; certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts; certain restricted securities; non-exchange traded equity securities; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; third-party investment funds where valuations are provided by fund sponsors and which are adjusted for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information; and certain securities that are valued at the local price and adjusted by applying a premium or discount when the holdings exceed foreign ownership limitations.


The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

  * The tables above are based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. The uncertainties surrounding the valuation inputs for a derivative are likely to be more significant to a Fund’s net asset values than the uncertainties surrounding inputs for a non-derivative security with the same market value.

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Other matters

Emerging Markets Fund (“EMF”)

Indian regulators alleged in 2002 that EMF violated some conditions under which it was granted permission to operate in India and have restricted EMF’s locally held assets pending resolution of the dispute. Although these locally held assets remain the property of EMF, a portion of the assets are not permitted to be withdrawn from EMF’s local custodial account located in India. The amount of restricted assets is small relative to the size of EMF, representing approximately 0.11% of the Fund’s total net assets as of November 30, 2012. The effect of this claim on the value of the restricted assets, and all matters relating to EMF’s response to these allegations, are subject to the supervision and control of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The costs in respect of this matter are being borne by EMF.

GMO Special Purpose Holding Fund (“SPHF”), an investment of EMF, has litigation pending against various entities related to the 2002 fraud and related default of securities previously held by SPHF. The outcome of the lawsuits against the remaining defendants is not known and any potential recoveries are not reflected in the net asset value of SPHF. During the period ended November 30, 2012, EMF received no distributions from SPHF in connection with the defaulted securities or the related litigation.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. The Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time.

Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds and other investment companies is exposed to the risks to which the underlying funds in which it invests are exposed. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and, references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund through other GMO Funds and other investment companies.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

• MARKET RISK. All of the Funds are subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of their holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Equity Securities Risk — Funds with equity investments run the risk that the market prices of those investments will decline. The market price of an equity investment may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company, such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services. It also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry, such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages or increased production costs. In addition, market prices may decline as a result of general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity investments generally have greater price volatility than fixed income and other investments with a scheduled stream of payments, and the market price of equity investments is more susceptible to moving up or down in a rapid or unpredictable manner. The Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets in equities and, generally do not take temporary defensive positions. As a result, declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset values of those Funds’ shares.

If a Fund purchases equity investments at a discount from their value as determined by the Manager, the Fund runs the risk that the market prices of these investments will not appreciate to or decline from that value for a variety of reasons, one of which may be the Manager’s overestimation of the value of those investments.


Equity investments trading at high multiples of current earnings are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than securities trading at lower multiples. At times when the market is concerned that these expectations may not be met, the market prices of those securities typically fall.

• LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents a Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. A Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). All of the Funds are subject to liquidity risk to some extent but those with the greatest risk have principal investment strategies that involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.

All of the Funds with benchmarks may buy securities that are less liquid than those in their benchmarks.

• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Companies with smaller market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap companies, may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may lack the competitive strength of larger companies, or may lack managers with experience or depend on a few key employees. In addition, their securities often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. In addition, market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for securities of these companies.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. All of the Funds may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and other OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, a Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts, or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

A Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., forward currency contracts), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, a Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Funds may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a pronounced effect on the Funds. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, a Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.

Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of a Fund, the Funds will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce a Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When a Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.


The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.

• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities are subject to additional and more varied risks than Funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. A Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).

Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes a Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments.

In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of a Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

Funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets) are subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than Funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in a Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.

• CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund’s investments are traded, in which a Fund receives income or in which a Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

Many of the Funds use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of their portfolios. As a result, their currency exposure may differ (in some cases significantly) from the currency exposure of their benchmarks. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, a Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and a Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.

Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).


• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.

A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments.

Similarly, Funds having a significant portion of their assets in investments tied economically to (or related to) a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country (e.g., Taiwan) or particular market (e.g., emerging markets) have more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., a Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. A Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest costs based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. A Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

A Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, a Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

• COUNTERPARTY RISK. Funds that enter into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or that lend their securities run the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that a Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose a Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. A Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to a Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when a Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases a Fund’s counterparty risk. Funds that use swap agreements are subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.

The Funds also are subject to counterparty risk because they execute their securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Funds could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments they would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Funds.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.


• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Funds’ investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. During such market disruptions, the Funds’ exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investment and other risks” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Funds from implementing their investment programs for a period of time and achieving their investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Funds’ derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates, or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Funds are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset Allocation Funds and separate accounts managed by the Manager for its clients hold substantial percentages of many Funds, and asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) those Funds. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). In addition, each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk is indirectly subject to this risk.

• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Each Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

For some Funds the Manager’s portfolio managers use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Funds also are subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent a Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Funds for losses resulting from their errors.

• FUND OF FUNDS RISK AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. Funds that invest in shares of other investment companies, including other GMO Funds, money market funds and ETFs (for purposes of this risk disclosure, “underlying funds”), are exposed to the risk that the underlying funds will not perform as expected.

Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests (absent reimbursement of those expenses), the Fund will incur additional expenses when investing in underlying funds. In addition, total Fund expenses will increase if a Fund makes a new or further investment in underlying Funds with higher fees or expenses than the average fees and expenses of the underlying funds then in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Funds also are indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds. Funds that invest in shares of other GMO Funds also are likely to be subject to Large Shareholder Risk because underlying GMO Funds are more likely to have large shareholders (e.g., other GMO Funds). See “Large Shareholder Risk” above.


Investments in ETFs involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index the ETF is designed to track. Unlike the index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track also may diverge because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, ETFs often use derivatives to track the performance of the relevant index, and, therefore, investments in those ETFs are subject to the same derivatives risks discussed above.

• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Some of the Funds are not “diversified” investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means they are allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S. currencies. As a result, they may be subject to greater credit, market and other risks, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on their performance, than if they were “diversified.”

The following Funds are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, as amended:

 

    Emerging Countries Fund
    Emerging Domestic Opportunities Fund
    Emerging Markets Fund
    Taiwan Fund

Temporary Defensive Positions. The Funds normally do not take temporary defensive positions. To the extent a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Funds’ portfolios. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.

The Funds may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in securities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of its investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting their investment exposure, the Funds also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust their currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by their portfolio investments.

The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Funds may have investment exposures in excess of their net assets (i.e. they may be leveraged). A Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investments and other risks” above for further information.


For Funds that held derivatives during the period ended November 30, 2012, the following table shows how the Fund used these derivatives (marked with an x):

To achieve returns comparable to holding and lending a direct equity position           X
As a substitute for direct investment in securities           X
Rights and/or warrants            
Received as a result of corporate actions   X   X   X

Forward currency contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are not collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (unless the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Options

The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a


writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, that Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. The Funds value OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

Swap agreements

The Funds may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Generally, the Funds price their swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.

Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the


counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

Basis of presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value a Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation: Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund and Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund

Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund and Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund include the accounts of their wholly owned investments in Alternative Asset SPC Ltd. and Implementation Fund (each a “wholly owned subsidiary”), respectively, and the accompanying schedules of investments have been consolidated for those accounts. The consolidated schedules of investments include 100% of the assets and liabilities of each wholly owned subsidiary.

Portfolio valuation

Shares of the underlying funds and other registered investment funds are valued at their net asset value. Investments held by the Funds and underlying funds are valued as follows: Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”) deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (the “Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Funds and/or the underlying funds classify such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not reduce the value of any of their over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of their counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

The foregoing pricing methodologies are modified for equity securities listed on foreign exchanges and that trade in securities markets that are closed prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the value will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close. The table below shows the percentage of the net assets of the Funds, either directly or through investments in the underlying funds, that were valued using fair value prices obtained from that independent pricing service as of November 30, 2012. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE)) are classified as being valued using Level 2 inputs (levels defined below) in the table below and as described in the disclosures of the underlying funds.

Typically, the Funds and the underlying funds value debt instruments based on the most recent quoted price supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager. Although the Manager normally does not evaluate pricing sources on a day-to-day basis, it does evaluate pricing sources on an ongoing basis and may change a pricing source at any time. The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. Although alternative prices may be available for securities held by the Funds and the underlying funds, those alternative sources are not typically part of the valuation process and do not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Funds and the underlying funds. See the table below for information about securities for which no alternative pricing source was available. Non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost if the issuer is deemed to present minimal credit risk, which approximates market value.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a debt instrument is not available by the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value on any business day, the Funds will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

As discussed above, certain of the Funds and underlying funds invest in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees, using fair value inputs obtained from an independent pricing service or which may have been valued using prices for which no alternative pricing source was available. The net aggregate direct and/or indirect exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Funds’ net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:

U.S. GAAP requires the Funds to disclose the fair value of their investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.


U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 securities and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to a Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). At November 30, 2012, there were no direct material Level 3 classes of investments or derivatives with significant unobservable inputs subject to this additional disclosure.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost; certain U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, certain sovereign debt obligations, and corporate bonds; certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency contracts; certain restricted securities; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to certain debt securities (such as asset-backed, mortgage-backed, loans and sovereign debt) valued using broker quotes; certain debt securities and derivatives adjusted by a specified discount for liquidity or other considerations; certain derivatives using third party valuation services; securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; potential litigation recoveries and interests related to bankruptcy proceedings valued at zero; and third-party investment funds where valuations are provided by fund sponsors and which are adjusted for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information.


The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Funds’ direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

The risks referenced in the tables above are not intended to be inclusive of all risks. Please see the “Investment and other risks” and “Derivative financial instruments” sections below for a further discussion of risks.

 

  * The tables above are based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. The uncertainties surrounding the valuation inputs for a derivative are likely to be more significant to the Funds’ net asset values than the uncertainties surrounding inputs for a non-derivative security with the same market value.

The underlying funds held at period end are classified above as Level 1 or Level 2. For the summary of valuation inputs (including Level 3 inputs, if any) of the underlying funds, please refer to the underlying funds’ portfolio valuation notes.

For all Funds, for the period ended November 30, 2012, there were no material transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Loan agreements and participations

The Funds may invest in loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. A Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, (i) a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, a Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and that Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. When a Fund purchases assignments of loans, it acquires direct rights against the borrower. Loan agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Repurchase agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. Under a repurchase agreement a Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. That Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of securities it acquired under the repurchase agreement. The value of the securities acquired is required by contract to be marked to market daily and additional collateral is required to be transferred so that the market value is at least equal to the amount owed to that Fund by the seller. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults or enters into insolvency proceedings and/or the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement is insufficient, that Fund’s recovery of cash from the seller may be delayed and, even if that Fund is able to dispose of the securities, the Fund may incur a loss equal to the difference between the cash it paid and the value of the securities. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Reverse repurchase agreements

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement a Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by that Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. A Fund can use the proceeds received from entering into a reverse repurchase agreement to make additional investments, which generally causes that Fund’s portfolio to behave as if it were leveraged. If the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of those securities and the payment it received for them. The size of this loss will depend upon the difference between what the buyer paid for the securities the Fund sold to it and the value of those securities (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100). In the event of a buyer’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.


Inflation-indexed bonds

The Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is adjusted periodically according to the rate of inflation. Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that reflects inflation in the principal value of the bond. Most other issuers pay out any inflation related accruals as part of a semiannual coupon.

The value of inflation indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates, in turn, are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates (i.e., stated interest rates) and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates (i.e. nominal interest rate minus inflation) might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. There can be no assurance, however, that the value of inflation-indexed bonds will be directly correlated to changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their value. Coupon payments received by a Fund from inflation-indexed bonds are included in the Funds’ gross income for the period in which they accrue. In addition, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will increase or decrease taxable ordinary income to the Fund, even though principal is not paid until maturity. Inflation-indexed bonds outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Other matters

Funds which hold Special Purpose Holding Fund (“SPHF”)

SPHF, an investment of some of the Funds, has litigation pending against various entities related to the 2002 fraud and related default of securities previously held by SPHF. The outcome of the lawsuits against the remaining defendants is not known and any potential recoveries are not reflected in the net asset value of SPHF. During the period ended November 30, 2012, the Funds received no distributions from SPHF in connection with the defaulted securities or the related litigation.

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Funds. Funds could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments they make and market conditions, which may change over time.

Each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds and other investment companies is exposed to the risks to which the underlying funds in which it invests are exposed. Therefore, unless otherwise noted, the selected risks summarized below include both direct and indirect risks, and, references in this section to investments made by a Fund include those made both directly by the Fund and indirectly by the Fund through other GMO Funds and other investment companies.

An investment in a Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.


• MARKET RISK. All of the Funds are subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of their holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Equity Securities Risk. — Funds with equity investments run the risk that the market prices of those investments will decline. The market price of an equity investment may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company, such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services. It also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry, such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages or increased production costs. In addition, market prices may decline as a result of general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity investments generally have greater price volatility than fixed income and other investments with a scheduled stream of payments, and the market price of equity investments is more susceptible to moving up or down in a rapid or unpredictable manner.

Some of the Funds invest a substantial portion of their assets in equities and generally do not take temporary defensive positions. As a result, declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset values of those Funds’ shares.

If a Fund purchases equity investments at a discount from their value as determined by the Manager, the Fund runs the risk that the market prices of these investments will not appreciate to or decline from that value for a variety of reasons, one of which may be the Manager’s overestimation of the value of those investments.

Equity investments trading at high multiples of current earnings are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than securities trading at lower multiples. At times when the market is concerned that these expectations may not be met, the market prices of those securities typically fall.

Fixed Income Investments Risk. — Funds that invest in fixed income securities (including bonds, notes, bills, synthetic debt instruments and asset-backed securities) are subject to various market risks. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to a number of market-related factors, including rising (or, in some limited cases, declining) interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity that reflect the market’s uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments). In addition, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities and sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments, can decline due to market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. During periods of economic uncertainty and change, the market price of a Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) may be particularly volatile. Often junk bonds are subject to greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes than higher rated bonds and can be more difficult to value, resulting in differences between the prices realized on their sale and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. See “Credit Risk” and “Liquidity Risk” below for more information about these risks.

A principal risk run by each Fund with a significant investment in fixed income securities is that an increase (or, in some limited cases, a decrease) in prevailing interest rates will cause the market price of those securities to decline. The risk associated with such changes in interest rates (also called “interest rate risk”) is generally greater for Funds investing in fixed income securities with longer durations and in some cases duration can increase.

The extent to which a fixed income security’s price changes with changes in interest rates is referred to as interest rate duration, which can be measured mathematically or empirically. A longer-maturity investment generally has longer interest rate duration because the investment’s fixed rate is locked in for a longer period of time. Floating-rate or adjustable-rate securities, however, generally have shorter interest rate durations because their interest rates are not fixed but rather float up and down as interest rates change. Conversely, inverse floating-rate securities have durations that move in the opposite direction from short-term interest rates and thus tend to underperform fixed rate securities when interest rates rise but outperform them when interest rates decline. Fixed income securities paying no interest, such as zero coupon and principal-only securities, create additional interest rate risk.

The price of inflation indexed bonds (including Inflation-Protected Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury (“TIPS”)) normally changes when real interest rates change. Their value typically will decline during periods of rising real interest rates (i.e., nominal interest rate minus inflation) and increase during periods of declining real interest rates. Real interest rates may not fluctuate in the same manner as nominal interest rates. In some interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, the price of inflation indexed bonds may decline more than the price of non-inflation indexed (or nominal) fixed income bonds with similar maturities. The price of a Fund’s inflation indexed bonds, however, will not necessarily change in the same proportion as changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their price. Moreover, if the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation indexed bond investments will be adjusted downward, and, consequently, the interest they pay (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. In the case of TIPS, the U.S. government guarantees the repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation). Generally, when interest rates on short term U.S. Treasury obligations equal or approach zero, a Fund that invests a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations, such as U.S. Treasury Fund, will have a negative return unless the Manager waives or reduces its management fees. Market risk for fixed income securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies is also affected by currency risk. See “Currency Risk” below.


Asset-Backed Securities Risk. — Investments in asset-backed securities not only are subject to all of the market risks described above for fixed income securities but to other market risks as well.

Funds investing in asset-backed securities are exposed to the risk that these securities experience severe credit downgrades, illiquidity, defaults, and declines in market value. These risks are particularly acute during periods of adverse market conditions, such as those that occurred in 2008. Asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, and credit-card receivables. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations” or “collateralized loan obligations”) and by the fees earned by service providers.

As described under “Market Risk — Fixed Income Investments Risk” above, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities, can decline due to a number of factors, including market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flow generated by the assets backing the securities, as well as the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any, and the reliability of various other service providers with access to the payment stream. A problem in any one of these areas can lead to a decrease in the payment stream expected by a Fund at the time it purchased the asset-backed security. Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default and the value of the defaulted obligations exceeds whatever credit support the securities may have. Asset-backed securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans, in particular, may cause a Fund to suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults, as sub-prime mortgage loans are typically made to less creditworthy borrowers and thus have a higher risk of default than conventional mortgage loans. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of asset-backed securities) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. As of the date of this report, many asset-backed securities owned by the Funds that were once rated investment grade are now rated below investment grade. See “Credit Risk” below for more information about credit risk.

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that occurred and became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured, and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying assets) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities. These events reduced liquidity and contributed to substantial declines in the market prices of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. These conditions may occur again. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages) have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities.

The market price of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying assets. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays. The obligations underlying asset-backed securities, in particular securities backed by pools of residential and commercial mortgages, also are subject to unscheduled prepayment, and a Fund may be unable to invest prepayments at as high a yield as was provided by the asset-backed security.

In addition, the existence of insurance on an asset-based security does not guarantee that the principal and/or interest will be paid because the insurer could default on its obligations. In recent years, a significant number of asset-backed security insurers have defaulted on their obligations.

The risk of investing in asset-backed securities has increased since the deterioration in worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above because performance of the various sectors in which the assets underlying asset-backed securities are concentrated (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit card receivables) has become more highly correlated. See “Focused Investment Risk” below for more information about risks of investing in correlated sectors. A single financial institution may serve as a trustee for many asset-backed securities. As a result, a disruption in that institution’s business may have a material impact on many investments.

• CREDIT RISK. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment will be unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligation to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor its obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the issuer’s or guarantor’s failure to meet its payment obligations or the downgrading of its credit rating. This risk is particularly acute in environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.


All fixed income securities are subject to credit risk. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer are the primary factors influencing credit risk. The risk varies depending upon whether the issuer is a corporation or U.S. or non-U.S. government (or sub-division or instrumentality) and whether the particular security has a priority over other obligations of the issuer in payment of principal and interest and whether it has any collateral backing or credit enhancement. Credit risk may change over the life of a fixed income security. U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon whether the securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, supported by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, supported only by the credit of the issuing U.S. government agency, instrumentality, or corporation, or otherwise supported by the United States. For example, issuers of many types of U.S. government securities (e.g., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), and Federal Home Loan Banks), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by Congressional appropriations and their fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. government. These securities are subject to more credit risk than U.S. government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds). Investments in sovereign debt involve the risk that the governmental entities responsible for repayment may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due. A governmental entity’s willingness or ability to pay interest and repay principal in a timely manner may be affected by a variety of factors, including its cash flow, the size of its reserves, its access to foreign exchange, the relative size of its debt service burden to its economy as a whole, and political constraints. Investments in quasi-sovereign issuers are subject to the additional risk that the issuer may default independently of its sovereign. Sovereign debt risk is greater for emerging market securities.

In some cases, the credit risk of a fixed income security is reflected in its credit ratings, and a Fund holding such a security is subject to the risk that its rating will be downgraded.

As described under “Market Risk — Asset-Backed Securities Risk” above, asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets and their payment of interest and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the assets backing them. The credit risk of a particular asset-backed security depends on many factors, as described in “Market Risk — Asset Backed Securities Risk” above.

The obligations of issuers also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. A Fund also is exposed to credit risk on a reference security to the extent it writes protection under credit default swaps. See “Derivatives Risk” below for more information regarding risks associated with the use of credit default swaps.

The extent to which the price of a fixed income security changes in response to a credit event depends on a number of factors and can be difficult to predict. For example, floating rate securities may have final maturities of ten or more years, but their effective durations will tend to be very short. If the issuer of floating rate securities experiences an adverse credit event, or a change occurs in its perceived creditworthiness, the price of its securities could decline much more than would be predicted by the change in their yield in relation to their effective duration.

Credit risk is particularly pronounced for below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The sovereign debt of many non-U.S. governments, including their sub-divisions and instrumentalities, is below investment grade. Many asset-backed securities also are below investment grade. Below investment grade securities have speculative characteristics, often are less liquid than higher quality securities, present a greater risk of default and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse industry conditions. In the event of default of sovereign debt, the Funds may be unable to pursue legal action against the sovereign issuer.

• LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents a Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. A Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). All of the Funds are subject to liquidity risk to some extent but those with the greatest risk have principal investment strategies that involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of a Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.

All of the Funds with benchmarks may buy securities that are less liquid than those in their benchmarks.

• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Companies with smaller market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap companies, may have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may lack the competitive strength of larger companies, or may lack managers with experience or depend on a few key employees. Moreover, their securities often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. In addition, market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for securities of these companies.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. All of the Funds may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and other OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.


The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, a Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts, or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

A Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., non-U.S. currency forwards), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, a Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Funds may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a pronounced effect on the Funds. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, a Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.

Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values a Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when a Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

A Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of a Fund, the Funds will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce a Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When a Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among other things, restrict a Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.

• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Funds that invest in non-U.S. securities are subject to additional and more varied risks than Funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. A Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).


Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes a Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments.

In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose a Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of a Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, a Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including a Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

Funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets) are subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than Funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in a Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.

• CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of a Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which a Fund’s investments are traded, in which a Fund receives income or in which a Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

Many of the Funds use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of their portfolios. As a result, their currency exposure may differ (in some cases significantly) from the currency exposure of their benchmarks. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, a Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and a Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.

Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).

• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. A Fund that invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.


A Fund that focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Real Estate Risk” below.

Similarly, Funds having a significant portion of their assets in investments tied economically to (or related to) a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country (e.g., Taiwan) or particular market (e.g., emerging markets) have more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

• REAL ESTATE RISK. Because Real Estate Fund concentrates its assets in real-estate related investments, the value of its portfolio is subject to factors affecting the real estate industry and may fluctuate more than the value of a portfolio that consists of securities of companies in a broader range of industries. Factors affecting real estate values include the supply of real property in particular markets, overbuilding, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, delays in completion of construction, changes in real estate values, changes in operating costs and property taxes, levels of occupancy, adequacy of rent to cover operating costs, possible environmental liabilities, regulatory limitations on rent, fluctuations in rental income, increased competition and other risks related to local and regional market conditions. The value of real-estate related investments also may be affected by changes in interest rates, macroeconomic developments, and social and economic trends. For instance, during periods of declining interest rates, some mortgage REITs may hold mortgages that the mortgagors elect to prepay, which prepayment may reduce the yield on securities issued by those REITs. Some REITs have relatively small market capitalizations, which can tend to increase the volatility of the market price of their securities. REITs are subject to the risk of fluctuations in income from underlying real estate assets, their inability to manage effectively the cash flows generated by those assets, prepayments and defaults by borrowers, and their failure to qualify for the special tax treatment granted to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or to maintain their exemption from investment company status under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., a Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of a Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. A Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest costs based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. A Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

A Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, a Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

• COUNTERPARTY RISK. Funds that enter into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or that lend their securities run the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that a Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose a Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. A Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to a Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the


counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when a Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases a Fund’s counterparty risk. Funds that use swap agreements are subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.

The Funds also are subject to counterparty risk because they execute their securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Funds could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments they would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Funds.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.

• SHORT SALES RISK. Some Funds may use short sales in their investment programs in an attempt to increase their returns or for hedging purposes.

In implementing its principal investment strategy, Alpha Only Fund is permitted to engage in short sales of securities or currencies that it does not own. To do so, the Fund borrows a security (e.g., shares of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”)) or currency from a broker and sells it to a third party. This type of short sale exposes the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities or currencies to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities or currencies sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. If a Fund engages in short sales of securities or currencies it does not own, it may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities or currencies and must pay to the lender any dividends or interest it receives on the securities or currencies while they are borrowed. In addition, purchasing securities or currencies to close out a short position can itself cause the price of the securities or currencies to rise further, thereby exacerbating any losses.

Short sales of securities or currencies the Fund does not own involve a form of investment leverage, and the amount of a Fund’s potential loss is theoretically unlimited. Accordingly, Alpha Only Fund is subject to increased leveraging risk and other investment risks described in this “Investment and other risks” section to the extent it sells short securities or currencies it does not own.

• NATURAL RESOURCES RISK. The Funds (except Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund, Implementaion Fund, Special Situations Fund and U.S. Equity Allocation Fund) may invest in Resources Fund. Resources Fund concentrates its investments in the natural resources sector, and so is particularly exposed to adverse developments, including adverse price movements, affecting issuers in the natural resources sector and is subject to greater risks than a fund that invests in a wider range of industries. In addition, the prices of securities of companies in the natural resources sector may be more volatile than those of securities of companies in other industries. Some of the commodities used as raw materials or produced by these companies are subject to broad price fluctuations as a result of industry wide supply and demand factors. Companies in the natural resources sector often have limited pricing power over supplies or for the products they sell, which can affect their profitability. Companies in the natural resources sector also may be subject to special risks associated with natural or man-made disasters. In addition, the natural resources sector can be especially affected by political and economic developments, government regulations including changes in tax law or interpretations of law, energy conservation, and the success of exploration projects. Specifically, the natural resource sector can be significantly affected by import controls, worldwide competition, changes in consumer sentiment and spending, and can be subject to liability for, among other things, environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control.

Resources Fund’s concentration in the securities of natural resource companies exposes it to the price movements of natural resources to a greater extent than if it were more broadly diversified. Because Resources Fund invests primarily in the natural resources sector, it runs the risk of performing poorly during an economic downturn or a decline in demand for natural resources.

The Funds (except Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund, Implementaion Fund, Special Situations Fund and U.S. Equity Allocation Fund) are exposed to the risks of investments in the natural resources sector to the extent they invest in Resources Fund.

OPTIONS RISK. There are various risks associated with transactions in exchange-traded and OTC options. The market value of options written by a Fund will be affected by many factors, including changes in the value of underlying securities or indices; changes in the dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities comprising such indices); changes in interest rates or exchange rates; changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and underlying securities; and the remaining time to an option’s expiration. The market value of an option also may be adversely affected if the market for the option is reduced or becomes less liquid. In addition, since an American style option allows the holder to exercise its rights any time prior to expiration of the option, the writer of an American style option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligations as a writer of the option. This risk is not present when writing a European style option since the holder may only exercise the option on its expiration date. If a Fund writes a call option and does not hold the underlying security or instrument, the amount of the Fund’s potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

National securities exchanges generally have established limits on the maximum number of options an investor or group of investors acting in concert may write. A Fund, the Manager, and other funds advised by the Manager may constitute such a group. These limits could restrict a Fund’s ability to purchase or sell options on a particular security.

Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows a Fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets. Therefore, OTC options generally expose a Fund to greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded. Purchasing and selling put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary market risks.

Special tax rules apply to a Fund’s transactions in options, which could increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. In particular, the Fund’s options transactions potentially could cause a substantial portion of a Fund’s income to consist of net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

• COMMODITIES RISK. The Funds (except Alpha Only Fund, Implementation Fund, Special Situations Fund and U.S. Equity Allocation Fund) may invest in Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund, which has exposure to commodity markets. Therefore, the price of its shares is affected by factors particular to the commodity markets and may decline and fluctuate more than the price of shares of a fund with a broader range of investments. Commodity prices can be extremely volatile and are affected by many factors, including changes in overall market movements, real or perceived inflationary trends, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates or currency


exchange rates, population growth and changing demographics, nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation, international regulatory, political and economic developments (e.g., regime changes and changes in economic activity levels), and developments affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods or other weather conditions, livestock disease, trade embargoes, competition from substitute products, transportation bottlenecks or shortages, fluctuations in supply and demand and tariffs. Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund invests in commodity-related derivatives. The value of these derivatives may fluctuate more than the commodity or commodities or commodity index to which they relate. The Funds (except Alpha Only Fund, Implementation Fund, Special Situations Fund and U.S. Equity Allocation Fund) are exposed to the risks of investments in commodities to the extent they invest in Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund.

• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Funds are subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Funds’ investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. During such market disruptions, the Funds’ exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investments and other risks” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Funds from implementing their investment programs for a period of time and achieving their investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Funds’ derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates, or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of a Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g., GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by those shareholders of all or a large portion of their Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Funds are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset Allocation Funds and separate accounts managed by the Manager for its clients hold substantial percentages of many Funds, and asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) those Funds. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. They also potentially limit the use of any capital loss carryforwards and certain other losses to offset future realized capital gains (if any). In addition, each Fund that invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk is indirectly subject to this risk.

• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. Each Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Each Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

For some Funds the Manager’s portfolio managers use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Funds also run the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Funds’ investment objectives.

The Funds also are subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent a Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Funds for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Funds. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Funds for losses resulting from their errors.


• FUND OF FUNDS RISK AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. Funds that invest in shares of other investment companies, including other GMO Funds, money market funds and ETFs (for purposes of this risk disclosure, “underlying funds”), are exposed to the risk that the underlying funds will not perform as expected.

Because a Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests (absent reimbursement of those expenses), the Fund will incur additional expenses when investing in underlying funds. In addition, total Fund expenses will increase if a Fund makes a new or further investment in underlying funds with higher fees or expenses than the average fees and expenses of the underlying funds then in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Funds also are indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds. Because some underlying funds (e.g., many of the Fixed Income Funds) in turn invest a substantial portion of their assets in other GMO Funds (pursuant to an exemptive order obtained from the SEC), the Asset Allocation Funds have more tiers of investments than funds in many other groups of investment companies. Funds that invest in shares of other GMO Funds also are likely to be subject to Large Shareholder Risk because underlying GMO Funds are more likely to have large shareholders (e.g., other GMO Funds). See “Large Shareholder Risk” above.

Investments in ETFs involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index the ETF is designed to track. Unlike the index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track also may diverge because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, ETFs often use derivatives to track the performance of the relevant index, and, therefore, investments in those ETFs are subject to the same derivatives risks discussed above.

• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. Some of the Funds are not “diversified” investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means they are allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S. currencies. As a result, they may be subject to greater credit, market and other risks, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on their performance, than if they were “diversified.”

In addition, each of the Funds invests a portion of its assets in shares of one or more other GMO Funds that are not diversified investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each of the Funds may invest without limitation in other GMO Funds that are not diversified.

The following Funds are not diversified investment companies under the 1940 Act, as amended:

 

    Alpha Only Fund
    Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund
    Implementation Fund
    Special Situations Fund
    U.S. Equity Allocation Fund

Temporary Defensive Positions. — The Funds (other than Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund and Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund) normally do not take temporary defensive positions. Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund and Benchmark-Free Allocation Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions if deemed prudent by the Manager. To the extent a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Derivative financial instruments

At November 30, 2012, only Alpha Only Fund, Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund, Implementation Fund and Special Situations Fund held derivative financial instruments directly. For a listing of derivative financial instruments held by the underlying funds, if any, please refer to the underlying funds’ Schedule of Investments. The derivative information provided below only pertains to direct investments made by Alpha Only Fund, Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund, Implementation Fund and Special Situations Fund.

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Funds’ portfolios. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.


Use of Derivatives by Alpha Only Fund and Implementation Fund

The Funds may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in securities or other assets. For example, a Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Funds also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements, and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). A Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of their investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices, and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if a Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting their investment exposures, the Funds also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust their currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by their portfolio investments.

The Funds may use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Funds are not limited in their use of derivatives or in the absolute face value of their derivative positions. As a result of its derivative positions, Alpha Only Fund will typically have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund will be leveraged) and Implementation Fund may have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund may be leveraged) and therefore is subject to heightened risk of loss. The Funds’ performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on derivative reference assets that the Funds do not own.

A Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.

Use of Derivatives by Alternative Asset Opportunity Fund

The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in global equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, or other assets. In particular, the Fund may use exchange traded futures and forward foreign exchange contracts to gain exposure to a range of global equity, bond, currency, and commodity markets. The Fund also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce its investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). For example, the Fund may use credit default swaps to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default by an issuer. The Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce (which may result in a reduction below zero) some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Fund may use derivatives, such as futures, related options, and swap agreements, in an attempt to adjust elements of its investment exposures to individual commodities, various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if the Fund holds a large proportion of a certain type of security or commodity and the Manager believes that another security or commodity will outperform such security or commodity, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). Long and short swap agreements and contracts for differences also may be used for these purposes. Derivatives used to effect synthetic sales and purchases will generally be unwound as actual portfolio securities are sold and purchased. In addition, the Manager may alter the interest rate exposure of debt instruments by employing interest rate swaps. Such a strategy is designed to maintain the Fund’s exposure to the credit of an issuer through the debt instrument but adjust the Fund’s interest rate exposure through the swap. With these swaps, the Fund and its counterparties exchange interest rate exposure, such as fixed versus variable rates and shorter duration versus longer duration exposure. In adjusting its investment exposure, the Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by its portfolio investments.

The Fund may also use derivatives to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Fund is not limited in its use of derivatives or in the absolute face value of its derivative positions. As a result of its derivative positions, the Fund will typically have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund will be leveraged) and therefore is subject to heightened risk of loss. The Fund’s performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on derivative reference assets that the Fund does not own.


Use of Derivatives by Special Situations Fund

The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in securities or other assets. In particular, the Fund may use swaps or other derivatives on an index, a single security or a basket of securities to gain investment exposures (e.g., by selling protection under a credit default swap). The Fund also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce its investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). For example, the Fund may use credit default swaps to take a short position with respect to the likelihood of default by an issuer. The Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce (which may result in a reduction below zero) some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.

The Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of its investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if the Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In addition, the Manager may alter the interest rate exposure of debt instruments by employing interest rate swaps. Such a strategy is designed to maintain the Fund’s exposure to the credit of an issuer through the debt instrument but adjust the Fund’s interest rate exposure through the swap. With these swaps, the Fund and its counterparties exchange interest rate exposure, such as fixed versus variable rates and shorter duration versus longer duration exposure. In adjusting its investment exposure, the Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by its portfolio investments.

The Fund’s performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on derivative reference assets that the Fund does not own.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. See “Investments and other risks” above for further information.

Forward currency contracts

The Funds may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose a Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are not collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (unless the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by each Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Funds to the risk that they may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Options

The Funds may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options a Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. A Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Funds may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies they own or in which they may invest. Writing options alters a Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating that Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating that Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that a Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose a Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, that Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation charges through the NYSE close). The Funds value OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

Swap agreements

The Funds may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, a Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Funds do not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Forward starting dividend swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive the changes in a dividend index point. The Fund gains exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the relevant dividend index point based on a notional amount. For example, if the Fund took a long position on a dividend index swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index point increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index point decreased in value.


Future swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive the changes in an index. A Fund gains exposure by either paying or receiving an amount in respect of an increase or decrease in the change of the index based on a notional amount. For example, if a Fund took a long position on a future swap, the Fund would receive payments if the relevant index increased in value and would be obligated to pay if that index decreased in value.

Generally, the Funds price their swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate.

Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that a Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by that Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by a Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Funds may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit a Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP , the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.

Basis of presentation

The preparation of the Schedule of Investments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the Schedule of Investments during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the Schedule of Investments may differ from the value the Fund ultimately realizes upon sale of those securities.

Portfolio valuation

Exchange-traded securities (other than exchange-traded options) for which market quotations are readily available are valued at (i) the last sale price or (ii) official closing price or (iii) most recent quoted price published by the exchange (if no reported last sale or official closing price) or (iv) the quoted price provided by a pricing source (in the event Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (the “Manager”) deems the private market to be a more reliable indicator of market value than the exchange). Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions. Unlisted securities (including debt instruments) for which market quotations are readily available are generally valued at the most recent quoted price. Shares of open-end registered investment companies are valued at their net asset value. If quotations are not readily available or circumstances make an existing methodology or procedure unreliable, derivatives and other securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees of GMO Trust (the “Trustees”) or persons acting at their direction pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees. Because of the uncertainty inherent in fair value pricing, the value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon its sale. See the table below for information about securities and derivatives that were fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees. The Fund classifies such securities as Level 3 (levels defined below). For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Fund did not reduce the value of any of its over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contracts, if any, based on the creditworthiness of its counterparties. See “Derivative financial instruments” for a further discussion on valuation of derivatives.

The foregoing pricing methodologies are modified for equity securities listed on foreign exchanges and that trade in securities markets that are closed prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) due to time zone differences, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE). In those cases, the value will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close. The table below shows the percentage of the net assets of the Fund, that were valued using fair value prices obtained from that independent pricing service as of November 30, 2012. These securities listed on foreign exchanges (including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) ) are classified as being valued using Level 2 inputs (levels defined below) in the table below.

Typically, the Fund values debt instruments based on the most recent quoted price supplied by a single pricing source chosen by the Manager. Although the Manager normally does not evaluate pricing sources on a day-to-day basis, it does evaluate pricing sources on an ongoing basis and may change a pricing source at any time. The Manager monitors erratic or unusual movements (including unusual inactivity) in the prices supplied for a security and has discretion to override a price supplied by a source (e.g., by taking a price supplied by another) when it believes that the price supplied is not reliable. Although alternative prices may be available for securities held by the Fund, those alternative sources are not typically part of the valuation process and do not necessarily provide greater certainty about the prices used by the Fund. See the table below for information about securities for which no alternative pricing source was available. Non-emerging market debt instruments with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less may be valued at amortized cost if the issuer is deemed to present minimal credit risk, which approximates market value.

“Quotation” or “quoted price” typically means the bid price for securities held long and the ask price for securities sold short. If the pricing convention for a security does not involve a bid or an ask, “quotation” or “quoted price” may be a market quotation provided by a market participant or other third party pricing source in accordance with the convention for that security. If an updated quote for a debt instrument is not available by the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value on any business day, the Fund will generally use a quoted price from a prior day to value that security.

As discussed above, the Fund invests in securities and/or derivatives which may have been fair valued using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees, using fair value inputs obtained from an independent pricing service or which may have been valued using prices for which no alternative pricing source was available. The net aggregate direct exposure to these valuation methodologies (based on the Fund’s net assets) as of November 30, 2012 is as follows:

U.S. GAAP requires the Fund to disclose the fair value of its investments in a three-level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3). The valuation hierarchy is based upon the relative observability of inputs to the valuation of the Fund’s investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, in periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition, as well as changes related to liquidity of investments, could cause a security to be reclassified between levels.

U.S. GAAP requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements for material Level 3 investments and derivatives, if any (determined by each category of asset or liability as compared to the Fund’s total net assets separately identified in the Valuation Inputs table below). At November 30, 2012, there were no direct material Level 3 classes of investments or derivatives with significant unobservable inputs subject to this additional disclosure.

The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 1 generally include actively traded domestic and certain foreign equity securities, certain U.S. government obligations with a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, derivatives actively traded on a national securities exchange (such as some futures and options), and shares of open-end mutual funds (even if their investments are valued using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs).

Level 2 – Valuations determined using other significant direct or indirect observable inputs.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 2 generally include debt securities such as U.S. government securities with a remaining maturity of less than 60 days valued at amortized cost, certain U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, certain sovereign debt obligations, and corporate bonds; certain OTC derivatives such as swaps, options, swaptions, and forward contracts; certain restricted securities; and certain foreign equity securities that are adjusted based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees, including the value of equity securities that underlie futures, options and other derivatives (to the extent the market for such instruments closes prior to the close of the NYSE) to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close.

Level 3 – Valuations based primarily on inputs that are unobservable and significant.

The types of assets and liabilities categorized in Level 3 generally include, but are not limited to securities whose trading has been suspended or that have been de-listed from their current primary trading exchange; securities in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; third-party investment funds where valuations are provided by fund sponsors and which are adjusted for liquidity considerations as well as the timing of the receipt of information; certain securities that are valued at the local price and adjusted by applying a premium or discount when the holdings exceed foreign ownership limitations; certain derivatives using third party valuation services; and potential litigation recoveries and interests related to bankruptcy proceedings valued at zero.


The following is a summary of the respective levels assigned to the Fund’s direct securities and derivatives, if any, as of November 30, 2012:

Foreign currency translation

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and related assets and liabilities are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally at 4:00 pm Boston time. Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are typically translated into U.S. dollars at the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Fluctuations in the value of currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. Realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investment securities and income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not separated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities, but are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Loan agreements and participations

The Fund may invest in loans to corporate, governmental or other borrowers. The Fund’s investments in loans may be in the form of participations in loans or assignments of all or a portion of loans. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When investing in a loan participation, (i) the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the party from whom the Fund has purchased the participation and only upon receipt by that party of payments from the borrower and (ii) the Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement or to vote on matters arising under the loan agreement. Thus, the Fund may be subject to credit risk both of the party from whom it purchased the loan participation and the borrower and the Fund may have minimal control over the terms of any loan modification. When the Fund purchases assignments of loans, it acquires direct rights against the borrower. Loan agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Repurchase agreements

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Under a repurchase agreement the Fund acquires a security for cash and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the seller to repurchase the security at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund, through its custodian, takes possession of securities it acquired under the repurchase agreement. The value of the securities acquired is required by contract to be marked to market daily and additional collateral is required to be transferred so that the market value is at least equal to the amount owed to the Fund by the seller. If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults or enters into insolvency proceedings and/or the value of the securities subject to the repurchase agreement is insufficient, the Fund’s recovery of cash from the seller may be delayed and, even if the Fund is able to dispose of the securities, the Fund may incur a loss equal to the difference between the cash it paid and the value of the securities. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Reverse repurchase agreements

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement the Fund sells portfolio assets subject to an agreement by the Fund to repurchase the same assets at an agreed upon price and date. The Fund can use the proceeds received from entering into


a reverse repurchase agreement to make additional investments, which generally causes the Fund’s portfolio to behave as if it were leveraged. If the buyer in a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund may be unable to recover the securities it sold and as a result would realize a loss equal to the difference between the value of those securities and the payment it received for them. The size of this loss will depend upon the difference between what the buyer paid for the securities the Fund sold to it and the value of those securities (e.g., a buyer may pay $95 for a bond with a market value of $100). In the event of a buyer’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Fund’s use of proceeds from the sale of its securities may be restricted while the other party or its trustee or receiver determines whether to honor the Fund’s right to repurchase the securities. Reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Inflation-indexed bonds

The Fund may invest in inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is adjusted periodically according to the rate of inflation. Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that reflects inflation in the principal value of the bond. Most other issuers pay out any inflation related accruals as part of a semiannual coupon.

The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates, in turn, are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates (i.e., stated interest rates) and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if the rate of inflation rises at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates (i.e. nominal interest rate minus inflation) might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. There can be no assurance, however, that the value of inflation-indexed bonds will be directly correlated to changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their value. Coupon payments received by a Fund from inflation-indexed bonds are included in the Fund’s gross income for the period in which they accrue. In addition, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of an inflation indexed bond will increase or decrease taxable ordinary income to the Fund, even though principal is not paid until maturity. Inflation-indexed bonds outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment and other risks

Investing in mutual funds involves many risks. The risks of investing in a particular Fund depend on the types of investments in its portfolio and the investment strategies the Manager employs on its behalf. This section does not describe every potential risk of investing in the Fund. The Fund could be subject to additional risks because of the types of investments it makes and market conditions, which may change over time.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

• MARKET RISK. The Fund is subject to market risk, which is the risk that the market value of its holdings will decline. Market risks include:

Equity Securities Risk — The Fund runs the risk that the market prices of its equity investments will decline. The market price of an equity investment may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company, such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services. It also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry, such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages or increased production costs. In addition, market prices may decline as a result of general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. Equity investments generally have greater price volatility than fixed income and other investments with a scheduled stream of payments, and the market price of equity investments is more susceptible to moving up or down in a rapid or unpredictable manner.

The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in equities and generally does not take temporary defensive positions. As a result, declines in stock market prices generally are likely to reduce the net asset values of the Fund’s shares.

If the Fund purchases equity investments at a discount from their value as determined by the Manager, the Fund runs the risk that the market prices of these investments will not appreciate to or decline from that value for a variety of reasons, one of which may be the Manager’s overestimation of the value of those investments.

Equity investments trading at high multiples of current earnings are more sensitive to changes in future earnings expectations than securities trading at lower multiples. At times when the market is concerned that these expectations may not be met, the market prices of those securities typically fall.

Fixed Income Investments Risk — The Fund’s investments in fixed income securities (including bonds, notes, bills, synthetic debt instruments and asset-backed securities) are subject to various market risks. The market price of a fixed income investment can decline due to a number of market-related factors, including rising (or, in some limited cases, declining) interest rates and widening credit spreads, or decreased liquidity that reflect the market’s uncertainty about the value of a fixed income investment (or class of fixed income investments). In addition, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities and sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt instruments, can decline due to market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. During periods of economic uncertainty and change, the market price of the Fund’s investments in below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) may be particularly volatile. Often junk bonds are subject to greater sensitivity to interest rate and economic changes than higher rated bonds and can be more difficult to, resulting in differences between the prices realized on their sale and the value at which they are carried on the books of the Fund. See “Credit Risk” and “Liquidity Risk” below for more information about these risks.


A principal risk of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities is that an increase (or, in some limited cases, a decrease) in prevailing interest rates will cause the market price of those securities to decline. The risk associated with such changes in interest rates (also called “interest rate risk”) is generally greater when the Fund invests in fixed income securities with longer durations and in some cases duration can increase.

The extent to which a fixed income security’s price changes with changes in interest rates is referred to as interest rate duration, which can be measured mathematically or empirically. A longer-maturity investment generally has longer interest rate duration because the investment’s fixed rate is locked in for a longer period of time. Floating-rate or adjustable-rate securities, however, generally have shorter interest rate durations because their interest rates are not fixed but rather float up and down as interest rates change. Conversely, inverse floating-rate securities have durations that move in the opposite direction from short-term interest rates and thus tend to underperform fixed rate securities when interest rates rise but outperform them when interest rates decline. Fixed income securities paying no interest, such as zero coupon and principal-only securities, create additional interest rate risk.

The price of inflation indexed bonds (including Inflation-Protected Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury (“TIPS”)) normally changes when real interest rates change. Their value typically will decline during periods of rising real interest rates (i.e., nominal interest rate minus inflation) and increase during periods of declining real interest rates. Real interest rates may not fluctuate in the same manner as nominal interest rates. In some interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, the price of inflation indexed bonds may decline more than the price of non-inflation indexed (or nominal) fixed income bonds with similar maturities. The price of the Fund’s inflation indexed bonds, however, will not necessarily change in the same proportion as changes in nominal interest rates, and short term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in their price. Moreover, if the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation indexed bond investments will be adjusted downward, and, consequently, the interest they pay (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. In the case of TIPS, the U.S. government guarantees the repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation). Generally, when interest rates on short term U.S. Treasury obligations equal or approach zero, if the Fund has invested a substantial portion of its assets in U.S. Treasury obligations, such as U.S. Treasury Fund, will have a negative return unless the Manager waives or reduces its management fees. Market risk for fixed income securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies is also affected by currency risk. See “Currency Risk” below.

• NON-U.S. INVESTMENT RISK. Because the Fund invests in non-U.S. securities, it is subject to additional and more varied risks than funds whose investments are limited to U.S. securities. The securities markets of many non-U.S. countries include securities of only a limited number of companies in a limited number of industries. As a result, the market prices of many of those securities fluctuate more than those of U.S. securities. In addition, issuers of non-U.S. securities often are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting, custody and auditing standards of non-U.S. countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards. Non-U.S. portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes and custodial costs. The Fund may be subject to non-U.S. taxation, including potentially on a retroactive basis, on (i) capital gains it realizes or dividends or interest it receives on non-U.S. securities, (ii) transactions in those securities and (iii) the repatriation of proceeds generated from the sale of those securities. Transaction-based charges are generally calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount and are paid upon the sale or transfer of portfolio securities subject to such taxes. In addition, some jurisdictions may limit the Fund’s ability to profit from short term trading (as defined in the relevant jurisdiction).

Also, investing in non-U.S. securities exposes the Fund to the risk of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation of assets of their issuers, adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls (which may include suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country), and adverse political and diplomatic developments.

In some non-U.S. markets, custody arrangements for securities provide significantly less protection than custody arrangements in U.S. markets, and prevailing custody and trade settlement practices (e.g., the requirement to pay for securities prior to receipt) expose the Fund to credit and other risks it does not have in the U.S. with respect to participating brokers, custodians, clearing banks or other clearing agents, escrow agents and issuers. Fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates also will affect the market value of the Fund’s non-U.S. investments (see “Currency Risk” below).

U.S. investors are required to maintain a license to invest directly in many non-U.S. markets. These licenses are often subject to limitations, including maximum investment amounts. Once a license is obtained, the Fund’s ability to continue to invest directly is subject to the risk that the license will be terminated or suspended. If a license is terminated or suspended, to obtain exposure to the market the Fund will be required to purchase American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, shares of other funds that are licensed to invest directly, or derivative instruments. The receipt of a non-U.S. license by one of the Manager’s clients may preclude other clients, including the Fund, from obtaining a similar license, and this could limit the Fund’s investment opportunities. In addition, the activities of another of the Manager’s clients could cause the suspension or revocation of a license and thereby limit the Funds’ investment opportunities.

Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers tied economically to emerging countries (or investments related to emerging markets), it is subject to greater non-U.S. investment risk than funds investing primarily in more developed non-U.S. countries (or markets). The risks of investing in those securities include: greater fluctuations in currency exchange rates; increased risk of default (by both government and private issuers); greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability (including the risk of war or natural disaster); increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers of securities in the Fund’s portfolio; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non-U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest and other income and on the Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle security or derivative transactions (i.e., a market freeze); unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and settlement; difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments; and significantly smaller market capitalizations of issuers.


• SMALLER COMPANY RISK. Companies with smaller market capitalizations, including small- and mid-cap companies, may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, may lack the competitive strength of larger companies, or may lack managers with experience or depend on a few key employees. Moreover, their securities often are less widely held and trade less frequently and in lesser quantities, and their market prices often fluctuate more, than the securities of companies with larger market capitalizations. In addition, market risk and liquidity risk are particularly pronounced for securities of these companies.

• MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONAL RISK. The Fund is subject to management risk because it relies on the Manager’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Fund runs the risk that the Manager’s investment techniques will fail to produce desired results, and cause the Fund to incur significant losses. The Manager also may fail to use derivatives effectively, choosing to hedge or not to hedge positions at disadvantageous times.

The Manager’s portfolio managers may use quantitative analyses and models. Any imperfections or limitations in those analyses and models could affect the ability of the portfolio managers to implement the strategies they wish to pursue. By necessity, these analyses and models make simplifying assumptions that limit their effectiveness. Models that appear to explain prior market data can fail to predict future market events. Further, the data used in models may be inaccurate or may not include the most recent information about a company or a security. The Fund also runs the risk that GMO’s fundamental assessment of an investment may be wrong. There can be no assurance that key personnel of the Manager will continue to be employed by the Manager. The loss of their services could have an adverse impact on the Manager’s ability to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

The Fund also is subject to the risk of loss as a result of other services provided by the Manager and other service providers, including pricing, administrative, accounting, tax, legal, custody, transfer agency and other services. Operational risk includes the possibility of loss caused by inadequate procedures and controls, human error and system failures by a service provider. For example, trading delays or errors (both human and systematic) could prevent the Fund from benefiting from potential investment gains or avoiding losses on the security. The Manager is not contractually liable to the Fund for losses associated with operational risk absent the Manager’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its contractual obligations to provide services to the Fund. Other Fund service providers also have limitations on their liability to the Fund for losses resulting from their errors.

• LIQUIDITY RISK. Liquidity risk is the risk that low trading volume, lack of a market maker, large position size or legal restrictions (including daily price fluctuation limits or “circuit breakers”) limits or prevents the Fund from selling particular securities or unwinding derivative positions at desirable prices. The Fund is also exposed to liquidity risk when it has an obligation to purchase particular securities (e.g., as a result of entering into reverse repurchase agreements, writing a put, or closing a short position). Because the Fund’s principal investment strategies may involve investment in asset-backed securities, emerging country debt securities, securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations or smaller total float-adjusted market capitalizations and emerging market securities, the Fund has increased exposure to liquidity risk. These types of investments can be difficult to value, resulting in differences between the price at which they are sold and the value at which they are carried on the books of the Fund. In addition, TIPS have exhibited periods of greatly reduced liquidity when disruptions in fixed income markets have occurred, such as the events surrounding the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in 2008. Less liquid securities are more susceptible than other securities to price declines when markets decline generally.

• DERIVATIVES RISK. The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices. Derivatives include futures, non-U.S. currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements and other OTC contracts. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies or currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and indices.

The use of derivatives involves risks that are in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of investing directly in securities and other more traditional assets. In particular, the Fund’s use of OTC derivatives exposes it to the risk that the counterparties will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor their obligations. An OTC derivatives contract typically can be closed only with the other party to the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies but may not be able to enforce them. Because the contract for each OTC derivative is individually negotiated, the counterparty may interpret contractual terms (e.g., the definition of default) differently than the Fund, and if it does, the Fund may decide not to pursue its claims against the counterparty to avoid incurring the cost and unpredictability of legal proceedings. The Fund, therefore, may be unable to obtain payments the Manager believes are owed to it under OTC derivatives contracts or those payments may be delayed or made only after the Fund has incurred the costs of litigation.

The Fund may invest in derivatives that (i) do not require the counterparty to post collateral (e.g., non-U.S. currency forwards), (ii) require collateral but that do not provide for the Fund’s security interest in it to be perfected, (iii) require a significant upfront deposit by the Fund unrelated to the derivative’s intrinsic value, or (iv) do not require that collateral be regularly marked-to-market. When a counterparty’s obligations are not fully secured by collateral, the Fund runs the risk of having limited recourse if the counterparty defaults. Even when obligations are required by contract to be collateralized, there is usually a lag between the day the collateral is called for and the day the Fund receives it. The Fund may invest in derivatives with a limited number of counterparties, and events affecting the creditworthiness of any of those counterparties may have a pronounced effect on the Fund. Derivatives risk is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions. In addition, during those periods, the Fund may have a greater need for cash to provide collateral for large swings in its mark-to-market obligations under the derivatives used by the Fund.


Derivatives also present other risks described in this section, including market risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Many derivatives, in particular OTC derivatives, are complex and their valuation often requires modeling and judgment, which increases the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. The pricing models used may not produce valuations that are consistent with the values the Fund realizes when it closes or sells an OTC derivative. Valuation risk is more pronounced when the Fund enters into OTC derivatives with specialized terms because the value of those derivatives in some cases is determined only by reference to similar derivatives with more standardized terms. As a result, incorrect valuations may result in increased cash payments to counterparties, undercollateralization and/or errors in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value. Derivatives also involve the risk that changes in their value may not move as expected relative to the value of the assets, rates or indices they are designed to track.

The Fund’s use of derivatives may not be effective or have the desired results. Moreover, suitable derivatives will not be available in all circumstances. For example, the economic costs of taking some derivative positions may be prohibitive, and if a counterparty or its affiliate is deemed to be an affiliate of the Fund, the Fund will not be permitted to trade with that counterparty. In addition, the Manager may decide not to use derivatives to hedge or otherwise reduce the Fund’s risk exposures, potentially resulting in losses for the Fund.

When the Fund uses credit default swaps to obtain synthetic long exposure to a fixed income security such as a debt instrument or index of debt instruments, the Fund is exposed to the risk that it will be required to pay the full notional value of the swap agreement in the event of a default.

Swap agreements and other OTC derivatives are highly susceptible to liquidity risk (see “Liquidity Risk” above) and counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below), and are subject to documentation risks. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish and/or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.

The U.S. government recently enacted legislation that provides for new regulation of the derivatives market, including clearing, margin, reporting and registration requirements. Because the legislation leaves much to rule making, its ultimate impact remains unclear. New regulations could, among other things, restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in, or increase the cost to the Fund of, derivatives transactions, for example, by making some types of derivatives no longer available to the Fund or increasing margin or capital requirements.

• CURRENCY RISK. Currency risk is the risk that fluctuations in exchange rates will adversely affect the market value of the Fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that the non-U.S. currencies in which the Fund’s investments are traded, in which the Fund receives income or in which the Fund has taken a position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar. Currency risk also includes the risk that the currency to which the Fund has obtained exposure through hedging declines in value relative to the currency being hedged, in which event, the Fund may realize a loss both on the hedging instrument and on the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates can fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including changes in supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, trade balances, actual or perceived changes in interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation, intervention (or the failure to intervene) by governments, central banks or supranational agencies such as the International Monetary Fund, and currency or exchange controls or other political and economic developments in the U.S. or abroad. See “Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk” below.

The Fund may use derivatives to take overweighted or underweighted currency positions relative to the currency exposure of its portfolio. If the exchange rates of the currencies involved do not move as expected, the Fund could lose money both on its holdings of a particular currency and on the derivative. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

Some currencies are illiquid (e.g., some emerging country currencies), and the Fund may not be able to convert them into U.S. dollars, in which case the Manager may decide to purchase U.S. dollars in a parallel market in which the exchange rate is materially and adversely different. Exchange rates for many currencies (e.g., some emerging country currencies) are particularly affected by exchange control regulations.

Derivative transactions in non-U.S. currencies (such as futures, forwards, options and swaps) may involve leveraging risk in addition to currency risk, as described below under “Leveraging Risk.” In addition, the obligations of counterparties in currency derivative transactions are often not secured by collateral, which increases counterparty risk (see “Counterparty Risk” below).

• CREDIT RISK. This is the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income investment will be unable or unwilling to satisfy its obligation to pay principal and interest or otherwise to honor its obligations in a timely manner. The market price of a fixed income investment will normally decline as a result of the issuer’s or guarantor’s failure to meet its payment obligations or the downgrading of its credit rating. This risk is particularly acute in environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

All fixed income securities are subject to credit risk. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer are the primary factors influencing credit risk. The risk varies depending upon whether the issuer is a corporation or U.S. or non-U.S. government (or sub-division or instrumentality) and whether the particular security has a priority over other obligations of the issuer in payment of principal and interest and whether it has any collateral backing or credit enhancement. Credit risk may change over the life of a fixed income security. U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon whether the securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, supported by the ability to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, supported only by the credit of the issuing U.S. government agency, instrumentality, or corporation, or otherwise supported by the United States. For example, issuers of many types of U.S. government securities (e.g., the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), and Federal Home Loan Banks), although chartered or sponsored by Congress, are not funded by Congressional appropriations and their fixed income securities, including mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities, are neither guaranteed nor insured by the U.S. government. These securities are subject to more credit risk than U.S. government securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States (e.g., U.S. Treasury bonds). Investments in sovereign debt involve the risk that the governmental entities responsible for repayment may be unable or unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due. A governmental entity’s willingness or ability to pay interest and repay principal in a timely manner may be affected by a variety of factors, including its cash flow, the size of its reserves, its access to foreign exchange, the relative size of its debt service burden to its economy as a whole, and political constraints. Investments in quasi-sovereign issuers are subject to the additional risk that the issuer may default independently of its sovereign. Sovereign debt risk is greater for emerging market securities.


In some cases, the credit risk of a fixed income security is reflected in its credit ratings, and if the Fund holds such a security, the Fund is subject to the risk that the security’s rating will be downgraded.

As described under “Market Risk – Asset-Backed Securities Risk” above, asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets and their payment of interest and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flows generated by the assets backing them. The credit risk of a particular asset-backed security depends on many factors, as described in “Market Risk – Asset-Backed Securities Risk” above.

The obligations of issuers also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. The Fund also is exposed to credit risk on a reference security to the extent it writes protection under credit default swaps. See “Derivatives Risk” below for more information regarding risks associated with the use of credit default swaps.

The extent to which the price of a fixed income security changes in response to a credit event depends on a number of factors and can be difficult to predict. For example, floating rate securities may have final maturities of ten or more years, but their effective durations will tend to be very short. If the issuer of floating rate securities experiences an adverse credit event, or a change occurs in its perceived creditworthiness, the price of its securities could decline much more than would be predicted by the change in their yield in relation to their effective duration.

Credit risk is particularly pronounced for below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). The sovereign debt of many non-U.S. governments, including their sub-divisions and instrumentalities, is below investment grade. Many asset-backed securities also are below investment grade. Below investment grade securities have speculative characteristics, often are less liquid than higher quality securities, present a greater risk of default and are more susceptible to real or perceived adverse industry conditions. In the event of default of sovereign debt, the Fund may be unable to pursue legal action against the sovereign issuer.

Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Investments in asset-backed securities not only are subject to all of the market risks described above for fixed income securities but to other market risks as well.

Funds investing in asset-backed securities are exposed to the risk that these securities experience severe credit downgrades, illiquidity, defaults, and declines in market value. These risks are particularly acute during periods of adverse market conditions, such as those that occurred in 2008. Asset-backed securities may be backed by many types of assets, including pools of residential and commercial mortgages, automobile loans, educational loans, home equity loans, and credit-card receivables. They also may be backed by pools of corporate or sovereign bonds, bank loans made to corporations, or a combination of these bonds and loans (commonly referred to as “collateralized debt obligations” or “collateralized loan obligations”) and by the fees earned by service providers.

As described under “Market Risk – Fixed Income Investments Risk” above, the market price of fixed income investments with complex structures, such as asset-backed securities, can decline due to a number of factors, including market uncertainty about their credit quality and the reliability of their payment streams. Payment of interest on asset-backed securities and repayment of principal largely depend on the cash flow generated by the assets backing the securities, as well as the deal structure (e.g., determination as to the amount of underlying assets or other support needed to produce the cash flows necessary to service interest and make principal payments), the quality of the underlying assets, the level of credit support and the credit quality of the credit-support provider, if any, and the reliability of various other service providers with access to the payment stream. A problem in any one of these areas can lead to a decrease in the payment stream expected by the Fund at the time it purchased the asset-backed security. Asset-backed securities involve risk of loss of principal if obligors of the underlying obligations default and the value of the defaulted obligations exceeds whatever credit support the securities may have. Asset-backed securities backed by sub-prime mortgage loans, in particular, may cause the Fund to suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults, as sub-prime mortgage loans are typically made to less creditworthy borrowers and thus have a higher risk of default than conventional mortgage loans. The obligations of issuers (and obligors of asset-backed securities) also are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. See “Credit Risk” below for more information about credit risk.

With the deterioration of worldwide economic and liquidity conditions that occurred and became acute in 2008, the markets for asset-backed securities became fractured, and uncertainty about the creditworthiness of those securities (and underlying assets) caused credit spreads (the difference between yields on asset-backed securities and U.S. Government securities) to widen dramatically. Concurrently, systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers and subsequent market disruptions reduced the ability of financial institutions to make markets in many fixed income securities. These events reduced liquidity and contributed to substantial declines in the market prices of asset-backed and other fixed income securities. These conditions may occur again. Also, government actions and proposals affecting the terms of underlying home and consumer loans, changes in demand for products (e.g., automobiles) financed by those loans, and the inability of borrowers to refinance existing loans (e.g., sub-prime mortgages) have had, and may continue to have, adverse valuation and liquidity effects on asset-backed securities.

The market price of an asset-backed security may depend on the servicing of its underlying assets and is, therefore, subject to risks associated with the negligence or defalcation of its servicer. In some circumstances, the mishandling of related documentation also may affect the rights of security holders in and to the underlying assets. The insolvency of entities that generate receivables or that utilize the assets may result in a decline in the value of the underlying assets, as well as costs and delays. The obligations underlying asset-backed securities, in particular securities backed by pools of residential and commercial mortgages, also are subject to unscheduled prepayment, and the Fund may be unable to invest prepayments at as high a yield as was provided by the asset-backed security.

The risk of investing in asset-backed securities has increased since the deterioration in worldwide economic and liquidity conditions referred to above because performance of the various sectors in which the assets underlying asset-backed securities are concentrated (e.g., auto loans, student loans, sub-prime mortgages, and credit card receivables) has become more highly correlated. See “Focused Investment Risk” below for more information about risks of investing in correlated sectors. A single financial institution may serve as a trustee for many asset-backed securities. As a result, a disruption in that institution’s business may have a material impact on many investments.


• COUNTERPARTY RISK. To the extent the Fund enters into contracts with counterparties, such as repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements or other OTC derivatives contracts, or lends its securities, it runs the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or otherwise hold investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund. There is neither an explicit limit on the amount of exposure that the Fund may have with any one counterparty nor a requirement that counterparties maintain a specific rating by a nationally recognized rating organization in order to be considered for potential transactions. To the extent that GMO’s view with respect to a particular counterparty changes (whether due to external events or otherwise), existing transactions are not required to be terminated or modified. Additionally, new transactions may be entered into with a counterparty that is no longer considered eligible if the transaction is primarily designed to reduce the overall risk of potential exposure to that counterparty (for example, re-establishing the transaction with a lesser notional amount). Counterparty risk is pronounced during unusually adverse market conditions and is particularly acute in environments (like those of 2008) in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions.

Participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets, and, therefore, OTC derivatives generally expose the Fund to greater counterparty risk than exchange-traded derivatives. The Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a derivative in accordance with its terms because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of a credit or liquidity problem. If a counterparty’s obligation to the Fund is not collateralized, then the Fund is essentially an unsecured creditor of the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but the Fund may be unable to enforce them, thus causing the Fund to suffer a loss. Counterparty risk is greater for derivatives with longer maturities because of the greater possibility that events will intervene to prevent settlement. Counterparty risk also is greater when the Fund has concentrated its derivatives with a single or small group of counterparties as it sometimes does as a result of its use of swaps and other OTC derivatives. Significant exposure to a single counterparty increases the Fund’s counterparty risk. To the extent the Fund uses swap agreements, it is subject, in particular, to the creditworthiness of the counterparties because some types of swap agreements have durations longer than six months (and, in some cases, decades). The creditworthiness of a counterparty may be adversely affected by greater than average volatility in the markets, even if the counterparty’s net market exposure is small relative to its capital. Counterparty risk still exists even if a counterparty’s obligations are secured by collateral because the Fund’s interest in the collateral may not be perfected or additional collateral may not be promptly posted as required.

The Fund also is subject to counterparty risk because it executes its securities transactions through brokers and dealers. If a broker or dealer fails to meet its contractual obligations, goes bankrupt, or otherwise experiences a business interruption, the Fund could miss investment opportunities or be unable to dispose of investments it would prefer to sell, resulting in losses for the Fund.

Counterparty risk with respect to OTC derivatives may be affected by new regulations affecting the derivatives market. Certain derivatives are likely to be required to be cleared, and a party to a cleared derivatives transaction is subject to the credit risk of the clearing house and the clearing member through which it holds its cleared position, rather than the credit risk of its original counterparty to the derivative transaction. Also, new regulations may cause certain bank and dealer counterparties to enter into derivatives transactions through affiliated entities, which affiliates may be less creditworthy than the bank or dealer itself.

• LEVERAGING RISK. The use of reverse repurchase agreements and other derivatives and securities lending creates leverage (i.e., the Fund’s investment exposures exceed its net asset value). Leverage increases the magnitude of the Fund’s losses when the value of its investments (including derivatives) declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., a notional value in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. In the case of swaps, the risk of loss generally is related to a notional principal amount, even if the parties have not made any initial investment. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. The Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements also subjects it to interest costs based on the difference between the sale and repurchase price of the security involved. The Fund’s portfolio also will be leveraged if it borrows money to meet redemption requests or settle investment transactions or if it exercises its right to delay payment on a redemption.

The Fund may manage some of its derivative positions by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, the Fund may perform as if it were leveraged.

• OPTIONS RISK. There are various risks associated with transactions in exchange-traded and OTC options. The market value of options written by the Fund will be affected by many factors, including changes in the value of underlying securities or indices; changes in the dividend rates of underlying securities (or in the case of indices, the securities comprising such indices); changes in interest rates or exchange rates; changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and underlying securities; and the remaining time to an option’s expiration. The market value of an option also may be adversely affected if the market for the option is reduced or becomes less liquid. In addition, since an American style option allows the holder to exercise its rights any time prior to expiration of the option, the writer of an American style option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligations as a writer of the option. This risk is not present when writing a European style option since the holder may only exercise the option on its expiration date. If the Fund writes a call option and does not hold the underlying security or instrument, the amount of the Fund’s potential loss is theoretically unlimited.

National securities exchanges generally have established limits on the maximum number of options an investor or group of investors acting in concert may write. The Fund, the Manager, and other funds advised by the Manager may constitute such a group. These limits could restrict the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell options on a particular security.


Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the Fund greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, participants in OTC derivatives markets typically are not subject to the same level of credit evaluation and regulatory oversight as are members of exchange-based markets. Therefore, OTC options generally expose the Fund to greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded. Purchasing and selling put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary market risks.

Special tax rules apply to the Fund’s transactions in options, which could increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. In particular, the Fund’s options transactions potentially could cause a substantial portion of the Fund’s income to consist of net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

• REAL ESTATE RISK. To the extent the Fund concentrates its assets in real-estate related investments, the value of its portfolio is subject to factors affecting the real estate industry and may fluctuate more than the value of a portfolio that consists of securities of companies in a broader range of industries. Factors affecting real estate values include the supply of real property in particular markets, overbuilding, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, delays in completion of construction, changes in real estate values, changes in operating costs and property taxes, levels of occupancy, adequacy of rent to cover operating costs, possible environmental liabilities, regulatory limitations on rent, fluctuations in rental income, increased competition and other risks related to local and regional market conditions. The value of real-estate related investments also may be affected by changes in interest rates, macroeconomic developments, and social and economic trends. For instance, during periods of declining interest rates, some mortgage REITs may hold mortgages that the mortgagors elect to prepay, which prepayment may reduce the yield on securities issued by those REITs. Some REITs have relatively small market capitalizations, which can tend to increase the volatility of the market price of their securities. REITs are subject to the risk of fluctuations in income from underlying real estate assets, their inability to manage effectively the cash flows generated by those assets, prepayments and defaults by borrowers, and their failure to qualify for the special tax treatment granted to REITs under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or to maintain their exemption from investment company status under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

• MARKET DISRUPTION AND GEOPOLITICAL RISK. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Fund’s investments. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Terrorism in the U.S. and around the world has had a similar global impact and has increased geopolitical risk. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 resulted in the closure of some U.S. securities markets for four days, and similar attacks are possible in the future. The uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt of the European Union countries of Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Italy, as well as the continued existence of the European Union itself, have disrupted and may continue to disrupt markets in the U.S. and around the world. If one or more countries leave the European Union or the European Union dissolves, there likely will be significant disruptions in the world’s securities markets and substantial government interventions (e.g., currency controls), which could negatively impact the Funds. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty and related geopolitical events have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, such as the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in early 2011, and systemic market dislocations of the kind surrounding the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. During such market disruptions, the Fund’s exposure to the risks described elsewhere in this “Investments and other risk” section will likely increase. Market disruptions, including sudden government interventions, can also prevent the Fund from implementing its investment programs for a period of time and achieving its investment objectives. For example, a disruption may cause disruptions to the orderly functioning of the securities markets and/or may cause the Fund’s derivatives counterparties to discontinue offering derivatives on some underlying commodities, securities, reference rates or indices, or to offer them on a more limited basis.

• SHORT SALES RISK. The Fund may use short sales in its investment programs in an attempt to increase its returns or for hedging purposes.

In implementing its principal investment strategies, the Fund is permitted to engage in short sales of securities or currencies that it does not own. To do so, the Fund borrows a security (e.g., shares of an ETF) or currency from a broker and sells it to a third party. This type of short sale exposes the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities or currencies to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities or currencies sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. If the Fund engages in short sales of securities or currencies it does not own, it may have to pay a premium to borrow the securities or currencies and must pay to the lender any dividends or interest it receives on the securities or currencies while they are borrowed. In addition, purchasing securities or currencies to close out a short position can itself cause the price of the securities or currencies to rise further, thereby exacerbating any losses.

Short sales of securities or currencies the Fund does not own involve a form of investment leverage, and the amount of a Fund’s potential loss is theoretically unlimited. Accordingly, the Fund is subject to increased leveraging risk and other investment risks described in this “Investments and other risks” section to the extent its sells short securities or currencies it does not own.

• FOCUSED INVESTMENT RISK. Funds whose investments are focused in particular countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries with high positive correlations to one another (e.g., different industries within broad sectors, such as technology or financial services) are subject to greater overall risk than funds whose investments are more diversified. To the extent the Fund invests in the securities of a limited number of issuers, it is particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund is likely to affect the Fund’s performance more than if the Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers.


To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a particular type of security or sector, or in securities of companies in a particular industry, it is vulnerable to events affecting those securities, sectors, or companies. Securities, sectors, or companies that share common characteristics are often subject to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and often react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Real Estate Risk” below.

Similarly, to the extent the Fund has a significant portion of its assets in investments tied economically to a particular geographic region, non-U.S. country or particular market (e.g., emerging markets), it has more exposure to regional and country economic risks than funds making non-U.S. investments throughout the world. The political and economic prospects of one country or group of countries within the same geographic region may affect other countries in that region, and a recession, debt crisis or decline in currency valuation in one country can spread to other countries. Furthermore, companies in a particular geographic region or non-U.S. country are vulnerable to events affecting other companies located in that region or country because they often share common characteristics, are exposed to similar business risks and regulatory burdens, and react similarly to specific economic, market, political or other developments. See also “Non-U.S. Investment Risk” above.

• LARGE SHAREHOLDER RISK. To the extent that a large number of shares of the Fund is held by a single shareholder (e.g., an institutional investor or another GMO Fund) or a group of shareholders with a common investment strategy (e.g. GMO asset allocation accounts), the Fund is subject to the risk that a redemption by that shareholder of all or a large portion of its Fund shares will adversely affect the Fund’s performance if it is forced to sell portfolio securities to raise the cash needed to satisfy the redemption request. In addition, GMO Funds and other accounts over which GMO has investment discretion that invest in the Fund are not subject to restrictions on the frequency of trading of Fund shares. Asset allocation decisions by the Manager may result in substantial redemptions from (or investments into) the Fund. These transactions may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is required to sell investments (or invest cash) at times when it would not otherwise do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares also may increase transaction costs or accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains to shareholders if the sales of portfolio securities they necessitate result in gains. In addition, to the extent the Fund invests in other GMO Funds subject to large shareholder risk, it is indirectly subject to this risk.

• FUND OF FUNDS RISK AND RELATED CONSIDERATIONS. The Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies, including other GMO Funds, money market funds and ETF (for purposes of this risk disclosure, “underlying funds”), and is exposed to the risk that the underlying funds will not perform as expected.

Because the Fund bears the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests (absent reimbursement of those expenses), the Fund will incur additional expenses when investing in underlying funds. In addition, total Fund expenses will increase if the Fund makes a new or further investment in underlying funds with higher fees or expenses than the average fees and expenses of the underlying funds then in the Fund’s portfolio.

The Fund also is indirectly exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds.

Investments in ETFs involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index the ETF is designed to track. Unlike the index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track also may diverge because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, ETFs often use derivatives to track the performance of the relevant index, and, therefore, investments in those ETFs are subject to the same derivatives risks discussed above.

• NON-DIVERSIFIED FUNDS. The Fund is a “non-diversified investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means that it is allowed to invest in the securities of a relatively small number of issuers and/or non-U.S currencies. As a result, it may be subject to greater credit, market and other risk, and poor performance by a single issuer may have a greater impact on its performance, than if it was “diversified”.

Temporary Defensive Positions. The Fund normally does not take temporary defensive positions.

To the extent the Fund takes a temporary defensive position, or otherwise holds cash, cash equivalents, or high quality debt investments on a temporary basis, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on, or is derived from, the value of underlying assets, reference rates, or indices, to increase, decrease or adjust elements of the investment exposures of the Fund’s portfolio. Derivatives may relate to securities, interest rates, currencies, currency exchange rates, inflation rates, commodities and related indices, and include foreign currency contracts, swap agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and other exchange-traded and OTC contracts.

The Fund may use derivatives as a substitute for direct investment in securities or other assets. For example, the Fund may use derivatives instead of investing directly in equity securities, including using equity derivatives to maintain equity exposure when it holds cash by “equitizing” its cash balances using futures contracts or other types of derivatives. The Fund also may use currency derivatives (including forward currency contracts, futures contracts, swap agreements and options) to gain exposure to a given currency.

The Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to reduce their investment exposures (which may result in a reduction below zero). The Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to reduce some aspect of the currency exposure in its portfolio. For these purposes, the Fund may use an instrument denominated in a different currency that the Manager believes is highly correlated with the relevant currency.


The Fund may use derivatives in an attempt to adjust elements of its investment exposures to various securities, sectors, markets, indices and currencies without actually having to sell existing investments or make new direct investments. For example, if the Fund holds a large proportion of stocks of companies in a particular sector and the Manager believes that stocks of companies in another sector will outperform those stocks, the Fund might use a short futures contract on an appropriate index (to synthetically “sell” a portion of the Fund’s portfolio) in combination with a long futures contract on another index (to synthetically “buy” exposure to that index). In adjusting its investment exposure, the Fund also may use currency derivatives in an attempt to adjust its currency exposure, seeking currency exposure that is different (in some cases, significantly different) from the currency exposure represented by its portfolio investments.

The Fund may use derivative to effect transactions intended as substitutes for securities lending.

The Fund is not limited in its use of derivatives or in the absolute face value of its derivative positions. As a result of its derivative positions, the Fund may have gross investment exposures in excess of its net assets (i.e., the Fund will be leveraged) and therefore is subject to heightened risk of loss. The Fund’s performance can depend substantially, if not primarily, on derivative reference assets that the Fund does not own.

The Fund’s foreign currency exposure may differ significantly from the currency exposure represented by its investments.

Forward currency contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts, including forward cross currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date (or to pay or receive the amount of the change in relative values of the two currencies). The market value of a forward currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. The value of each of the Fund’s forward currency contracts is marked to market daily using rates supplied by a quotation service and changes in value are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses on the contracts are equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss. Forward currency contracts expose the Fund to the market risk of unfavorable movements in currency values and the risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet the terms of the contracts. Most forward currency contracts are not collateralized. Forward currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Futures contracts

The Fund may purchase and sell futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract that obligates the holder to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined delivery price at a specified time in the future. Some futures contracts are net (cash) settled. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash, U.S. government and agency obligations or other liquid assets with the futures clearing broker in accordance with the initial margin requirements of the broker or exchange. Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established at the close of business each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded (unless the futures are traded outside the U.S. and the market for such futures is closed prior to the close of NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changes through the NYSE close). The value of each of the Fund’s futures contracts is marked to market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (“variation margin”) is recorded by the Fund. The payable or receivable is settled on the following business day. Gains or losses are recognized but not accounted for as realized until the contracts expire or are closed. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, thereby effectively preventing liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contracts expose the Fund to the risk that it may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Options

The Fund may purchase call and put options. A call option gives the holder the right to buy an asset; a put option gives the holder the right to sell an asset. By purchasing options the Fund alters its exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, entitling it to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the writer of the option and, in the case of a put option, entitling it to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the writer of the option. The Fund pays a premium for a purchased option. That premium is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments and is subsequently reflected in the marked-to-market value of the option. The potential loss associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Purchased option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Fund may write (i.e., sell) call and put options on futures, swaps (“swaptions”), securities or currencies it owns or in which it may invest. Writing options alters the Fund’s exposure to the underlying asset by, in the case of a call option, obligating the Fund to sell the underlying asset at a set price to the option-holder and, in the case of a put option, obligating the Fund to purchase the underlying asset at a set price from the option-holder. In some cases (e.g., index options), settlement will be in cash, based on a formula price. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently included in the marked-to-market value of the option. As a


writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether it will be required to sell (call) or purchase (put) the underlying asset and as a result bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the asset underlying the option. In the event that the Fund writes call options without an offsetting exposure (e.g., call options on an asset that the Fund does not own), it bears an unlimited risk of loss if the price of the underlying asset increases during the term of the option. OTC options expose the Fund to the risk the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. Written option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

When an option contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. If a written call option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as an addition to sales proceeds. If a written put option is exercised, the premium originally received is recorded as a reduction in the cost of investments purchased. Gains and losses from the expiration or closing of written option contracts are separately disclosed.

Exchange-traded options are valued at the last sale price, provided that price is between the closing bid and ask prices. If the last sale price is not within this range, then they will be valued at the closing bid price for long positions and the closing ask price for short positions (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the values will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation charges through the NYSE close). The Fund values OTC options using inputs provided by primary pricing sources and industry models.

Swap agreements

The Fund may enter into various types of swap agreements, including, without limitation, swaps on securities and securities indices, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, variance swaps, commodity swaps, inflation swaps and other types of available swaps. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one asset for the return generated by another asset. Some swap agreements are net settled. When entering into a swap agreement and during the term of the transaction, the Fund and/or the swap counterparty may post or receive cash or securities as collateral.

Initial upfront payments received or made upon entering into a swap agreement are included in the fair market value of the swap. The Fund does not amortize upfront payments. Net periodic payments made or received to compensate for differences between the stated terms of the swap agreement and prevailing market conditions (credit spreads, currency exchange rates, interest rates, and other relevant factors) are recorded as realized gains or losses. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreements is recorded as realized gain or loss.

Interest rate swap agreements involve an exchange by the parties of their respective commitments to pay or right to receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments with respect to the notional amount of principal).

Total return swap agreements involve a commitment by one party to pay interest to the other party in exchange for a payment to it from the other party based on the return of a reference asset (e.g., a security, basket of securities, or future contract), both based on notional amounts. To the extent the return of the reference asset exceeds or falls short of the interest payments, one party is entitled to receive a payment from or obligated to make a payment to the other party.

In a credit default swap agreement, one party makes payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return (or to put a security) if a credit event (e.g., default or similar event) occurs with respect to a reference entity or entities. A seller of credit default protection receives periodic payments in return for its obligation to pay the principal amount of a debt security (or other agreed-upon value) to the other party upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the seller has no payment obligations so long as there is no early termination.

For credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by various occurrences, which may include an issuer’s failure to pay interest or principal on a reference security, a breach of a material representation or covenant, an agreement by the holders of an asset-backed security to a maturity extension, or a write-down on the collateral underlying the security. For credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by such occurrences as the issuer’s bankruptcy, failure to pay interest or principal, repudiation/moratorium and/or restructuring.

Variance swap agreements involve an agreement by two parties to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price chosen is generally fixed at a level such that the fair value of the swap is zero. As a result, no money changes hands at the initiation of the contract. At the expiration date, the amount payable by one


party to the other is the difference between the realized price variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. A receiver of the realized price variance would be entitled to receive a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be obligated to make a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. A payer of the realized price variance would be obligated to make a payment when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would be entitled to receive a payment when that variance is less than the strike price. This type of agreement is essentially a forward contract on the future realized price variance of the underlying asset.

Generally, the Fund prices its swap agreements daily using industry standard models that may incorporate quotations from market makers or pricing vendors (unless the underlying reference security closes or the official closing time of the underlying index occurs prior to the close of the NYSE due to time zone differences, in which case the quotations will be adjusted, to the extent practicable and available, based on inputs from an independent pricing service approved by the Trustees to reflect estimated valuation changed through the NYSE close) and records the change in value, if any, as unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the swap agreements or reset dates, as appropriate. Swap agreements generally are not traded on publicly traded exchanges. The values assigned to them may differ significantly from the values that would be realized upon termination, and the differences could be material. Entering into swap agreements involves counterparty credit, legal, and documentation risk that is generally not reflected in the models used to price the swap agreement. Such risks include the possibility that the counterparty defaults on its obligations to perform or disagrees as to the meaning of contractual terms, that the Fund has amounts on deposit in excess of amounts owed by the Fund, or that any collateral the other party posts is insufficient or not timely received by the Fund. Credit risk is particularly acute in economic environments in which financial services firms are exposed to systemic risks of the type evidenced by the insolvency of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and subsequent market disruptions. Swap agreements outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Rights and warrants

The Fund may purchase or otherwise receive warrants or rights. Warrants and rights generally give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, a security of the issuer at a set price. Funds typically use warrants and rights in a manner similar to their use of purchased options on securities, as described in the section entitled “Options” above. Risks associated with the use of warrants and rights are generally similar to risks associated with the use of purchased options. However, warrants and rights often do not have standardized terms, and may have longer maturities and may be less liquid than exchange-traded options. In addition, the terms of warrants or rights may limit the Fund’s ability to exercise the warrants or rights at such times and in such quantities as the Fund would otherwise wish. Rights and/or warrants outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As provided by U.S. GAAP, the table below is based on market values or unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) rather than the notional amounts of derivatives. Changes to market values of reference asset(s) will tend to have a greater impact on the Funds (with correspondingly greater risk) the greater the notional amount. For further information on notional amounts, see the Schedule of Investments.
