Philosophy and process highlights

We use a five-point-framework to assess each prospective investment.

Business quality. Does the company possess sustainable competitive advantages?

Industry structure. How is the industry structured and are changes on the horizon?

End-market conditions. How favorable are end-market conditions?

Management capability. How well does management allocate capital and execute its strategy?

Capital structure. Is the capital structure appropriate and how has it evolved over time?

Our approach to sustainability

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks and expenses. This and other important information are contained in the Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus, which are available at diamond-hill.com or calling 888.226.5595. Read carefully before investing.

Risk disclosure: International investments involve special risks, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods, tax policies, political systems and higher transaction costs. These risks are typically greater in emerging markets. Small- and mid-capitalization issues tend to be more volatile and less liquid than large-capitalization issues.

1 Active Share is relative to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index.

2 Securities referenced may not be representative of all portfolio holdings. The reader should not assume that an investment in the securities was or will be profitable.

3 Cash & Other may include cash, treasuries, money market funds and short duration fixed income funds.

The quoted performance for the Fund reflects the past performance of Diamond Hill International Fund L.P. (the “International Partnership”), a private fund managed with full investment authority by the fund’s Adviser. The Fund is managed in all material respects in a manner equivalent to the management of the predecessor unregistered fund. The performance of the International Partnership has been restated to reflect the net expenses and maximum applicable sales charge of the fund for its initial years of investment operations. The International Partnership was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the International Partnership had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. Performance is measured from 30 December 2016, the inception of the International Partnership and is not the performance of the fund. The assets of the International Partnership were converted, based on their value on 28 June 2019, into assets of the fund. The International Partnership’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future either before or after taxes. 

The Overall Morningstar Rating™ is based on 692 Foreign Large Blend funds as of 31 Mar 2023. The Fund’s Class I rating was 5 stars among 692 funds for the 3-year period ended 31 Mar 2023. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.
