BBH Inflation-Indexed Fixed Income - 3Q 2021

During the 3rd quarter of 2024, most companies in the Index reported 2nd quarter 2024 results and provided near and longer-term guidance. Companies in the Index combined to report mixed results in the 2nd quarter of 2024, with strong growth in earnings contrasting with modest declines in free cash flow1 generation. Combined with 1st quarter results, net earnings per share of the companies in the Index grew a healthy 6.9% during the 1st half of 2024 when compared with the prior year period. However, free cash flow per share growth for the Index was at a more pedestrian rate of 1.5% over the 1st half 2024 and 2023 comparative periods.

RISKS

The value of the Fund fluctuates as the value of the underlying shares in which it invests fluctuate. The Fund is subject to equity risk, in that its investments in shares are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. This can affect the value of your investment. Political and economic changes as well as changes in the company in which the Fund invests may also affect the value of your investment.

The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

The Fund is ‘non-diversified’ and may assume large positions in a small number of issuers which can increase the potential for greater price fluctuation.

Non-U.S. investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

Complete information on the Fund's risks and expenses can be found in the prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing.

The decision to invest in the fund should take into account all the characteristics or objectives of the fund as described in its prospectus.

Risk factors are described in more details in the Fund’s prospectus.
