Important fund updates
We have made certain fund updates effective 2 December 2024. Please see the shareholder notice below for details.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund aims to achieve a return through capital growth and income, that is above the average return expected from an investment in emerging market shares. The Fund invests predominantly in shares of companies with their registered office in Emerging Markets or which do most of their business (directly or through subsidiaries) in Emerging Markets. The Fund may also invest in American depositary receipts (ADRs), money market instruments and bank deposits. The Fund may use derivatives to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
ABOUT THIS FUND
This style-agnostic fund seeks to identify the most compelling emerging market opportunities across countries and corporations in various stages of political and economic development.
WHY INVEST IN THIS FUND
All-Cap, Style-Agnostic Portfolio
We seek to uncover the most compelling opportunities across countries and regimes in various stages of economic and political development. We broaden the investable universe by looking outside of the index and diluting state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to create a pool of best ideas.
Robust Approach Focuses on the Intersection of Country, Governance and Fundamental Analysis
We identify investment ideas through an improving direction of travel in country, governance or fundamental analysis. Governance is a crucial factor in the investment process. Our belief is controlling shareholders often do not oversee the company in a manner that would benefit all shareholders and not all political regimes provide predictable rule of law.
