The fund is actively managed and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities, including common stock and depositary receipts, issued by publicly listed companies in developed foreign markets excluding the U.S. ("developed ex-U.S."), that provide high "shareholder yield." Its investment adviser, Cambria Investment Management, L.P. ("Cambria" or the "Adviser"), defines "shareholder yield" as the totality of returns realized by an investor from a company’s cash payments for dividends, buybacks and debt paydowns.
