The described fund is designed to offer investors a focused opportunity to participate in the growth potential of selected emerging market countries. By committing at least 80% of its net assets—plus any borrowed funds designated for investment purposes—toward assets that are economically tied to emerging markets, the fund positions itself as a conduit for investors aiming to diversify their portfolios with the dynamic economies of these regions. Moreover, the fund's strategy to maintain a weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less for its money market securities reflects a conservative approach to managing liquidity and risk. As a non-diversified fund, it may invest more heavily in fewer issues, potentially maximizing the impact of successful investments but also increasing exposure to individual asset volatility.
The cornerstone of the fund's strategy, these investments link the fund's performance to the economic fortunes of selected emerging market countries.
