Redwheel Global Emerging Equity Fund Class I (RWCIX)

Overview

The fund primarily focuses on investing a significant portion of its assets in equity securities of companies based in emerging and frontier markets. By targeting at least 80% investment in these securities, along with employing derivatives and shares of other investment companies, including ETFs, it aims to replicate or benefit from the economic characteristics of these emerging market equities. The fund's strategy includes diversification across at least three different emerging or frontier market countries, providing a broad exposure to the growth potential in these regions. Additionally, it explores opportunities in "out-of-the-money" convertible securities and is open to investing in companies of any market capitalization, offering a wide range of investment opportunities within the emerging markets domain.

Products and Services

• Equity Securities of Emerging Market Companies

Invests in stocks or equity securities of companies located in emerging markets, aiming to capitalize on the growth potential of these regions. This includes a broad range of sectors and industries, offering investors exposure to the economic development and expansion in less established but fast-growing markets.

• Derivatives and Shares of Investment Companies

Employs derivatives and invests in shares of other investment entities, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), to achieve investment aims. This strategy allows the fund to gain exposure to emerging markets indirectly, offering a diversified approach through instruments that mimic the economic characteristics of direct equity investments.

• Investment in Frontier Markets

Targets investment not only in emerging markets but also in frontier markets, which are typically smaller, less accessible, but potentially faster-growing economies. This involves a higher risk but also the potential for higher returns, as these markets are less correlated with global financial markets.

• "Out-of-the-Money" Convertible Securities

The fund may invest in convertible securities that are "out-of-the-money," meaning securities that would not be profitable if converted at the current price but may offer potential for gains if the underlying stock increases in value. This can provide a strategic advantage in volatile markets or when anticipating growth.

• Companies with Any Market Capitalization

Flexible investment in companies of any size, from small-cap to large-cap, allowing the fund to take advantage of opportunities across the entire market capitalization spectrum. This approach ensures that the fund is not restricted to a particular segment but can pursue growth wherever it is found within the emerging markets.
