- Investments in Various Currencies and Market Capitalizations
The fund prioritizes investments in common stocks of emerging market companies, seeking to capitalize on their growth potential. Common stocks represent shares of ownership in a company, providing voting rights and the possibility of dividend payments.
Beyond common stocks, the fund diversifies its portfolio with investments in preferred stocks and depositary receipts. Preferred stocks offer potential dividends that are typically higher than those of common stocks and take precedence in the event of liquidation. Depositary receipts enable the fund to hold shares in foreign companies, facilitating international investment exposure.
At least 80% of the fund's net assets are dedicated to equity securities of companies operating in emerging markets. This strategy focuses on regions with the potential for economic growth, aiming to achieve long-term capital gains from investments in these markets.
The fund is open to investing in securities denominated in both U.S. Dollars and the currencies of the emerging market countries it invests in. It does not limit itself to companies of a specific size, allowing for investments across all market capitalizations, including small and mid-cap companies. This approach ensures a broad diversification of currency risk and exposure to various stages of company growth.
