Overview
The fund mentioned focuses on investing at least 80% of its net assets in various financial instruments, including common stocks, depositary receipts, preferred shares, and real estate investment trusts. These investments are specifically tied to the performance of companies within emerging market countries. However, not all companies within these territories are eligible; only those that meet minimum political rights and civil liberties standards, as identified by Freedom House and classified as Electoral Democracies, are included in the fund's portfolio. This approach indicates a unique blend of investment strategy and ethical considerations, targeting growth through emerging markets while adhering to certain democratic and civil liberty standards. It is also important to note that the fund is described as non-diversified, meaning it may focus its investments more narrowly than a diversified fund, potentially increasing risk but also allowing for higher returns from those specific investments.
Products and Services
The fund offers a focused approach to investment in emerging markets with a particular emphasis on democracy and civil liberties. Here are the primary components of its investment strategy:
- Common Stocks: Shares in companies that abide by the minimum standards of political rights and civil liberties set by Freedom House, giving investors ownership stakes in these firms.
- Depositary Receipts: These are negotiable financial instruments issued by banks to represent shares in foreign companies, allowing the fund to invest in international markets while adhering to its ethical guidelines.
- Preferred Shares: A type of stock that provides dividends before dividends are issued to common stockholders and which typically does not come with voting rights, selected from companies in emerging markets that meet the fund's ethical criteria.
- Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs): These are companies that own, operate, or finance income-producing real estate across a range of property sectors. The fund includes REITs that operate within its defined emerging market countries, ensuring that they also align with Freedom House's standards for Electoral Democracies.
