The fund is primarily focused on investing in equity securities of companies located within emerging market countries. It employs a strategy that involves allocating at least 80% of its net assets towards such investments, acknowledging the potential growth and return benefits inherent in emerging markets. Besides, the fund possesses the flexibility to invest a modest portion of its assets in frontier markets, recognized for their smaller scale, reduced liquidity, and lesser development compared to emerging markets. This strategy underscores the fund's pursuit of diverse investment opportunities and potential returns, albeit with an acceptance of higher risk considerations associated with less developed markets. Through its investment approaches, the fund aims to capitalize on the growth dynamics of emerging and frontier markets while managing the associated risks.
The fund dedicates at least 80% of its net assets to investing in equity securities, such as stocks, of companies situated in emerging markets. This strategic focus is anchored in the potential for higher growth rates and returns in these markets compared to more developed economies, albeit with an increased exposure to risks, such as political instability and market volatility.
Up to 5% of the fund's assets can be allocated to frontier markets, which are characterized by their smaller sizes, reduced liquidity, and less developed nature in comparison to emerging markets. This allocation allows the fund to explore additional growth opportunities while diversifying its investment base across different levels of market development.
The fund may obtain indirect exposure to equity securities by utilizing financial instruments such as depositary receipts and participatory notes. These instruments enable the fund to gain exposure to various markets and companies without the need for direct investment, facilitating diversification and potentially mitigating risks associated with direct equity investments.
