JNL Emerging Markets Index Fund (I) (0P0001LCQ6)

Overview

The fund is a financial entity designed to provide investors with a method to gain exposure to securities primarily included in a specific index. It operates by committing at least 80% of its assets to investments directly tied to the components of this index. This focus includes not just the direct securities listed but also various forms of depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), which represent the underlying securities of the index in question. These instruments allow the fund to diversify its investment approach internationally, offering investors a chance to participate in global markets through a familiar, regulated framework.

Products and Services

The fund specializes in a range of investment products designed to offer investors a diversified portfolio with exposure to international markets. Each product and service is crafted to ensure compliance with the fund’s investment strategy, focusing on securities included in a specific index. Below are the primary offerings:

• Securities in Index
  

  At the core of its strategy, the fund invests in a broad array of securities that are part of the chosen index. This direct investment approach is designed to mirror the index's performance as closely as possible, providing investors with a transparent and efficient way to gain market exposure.

• American Depositary Receipts (ADRs)
  

  As part of its diversification strategy, the fund invests in ADRs, which are stocks listed on U.S. exchanges that represent a specified number of shares in a foreign corporation. This allows investors to own foreign stocks without dealing with the complexities of foreign markets, providing a layer of convenience and accessibility.

• Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs)
  

  GDRs are similar to ADRs but are primarily listed on international exchanges, offering investors exposure to companies outside their home country. This investment product enhances the fund’s global reach, allowing for broader diversification across different geographic regions and sectors.

• European Depositary Receipts (EDRs)
  

  EDRs function like ADRs and GDRs but are specifically tailored for European stocks, facilitating investment in European companies through depositary receipts. This offers another layer of international diversification, targeting the European market's unique opportunities.
