Overview
The company is dedicated to investing in stocks of firms situated in emerging markets worldwide, focusing on regions such as Brazil, India, and Taiwan. Notably, it intentionally excludes investments in China. The primary objective of the fund is to closely mirror the returns of the FTSE Emerging ex China Index. While the fund presents high growth potential, it also carries significant risks, as the value of its shares may fluctuate more dramatically compared to those of stock funds that primarily focus on developed countries, including the United States. This investment approach is deemed suitable only for long-term financial goals.
To maintain strategic control over its portfolio, the fund imposes specific limitations on its asset allocation. For up to 75% of its total assets, the fund will not purchase more than 10% of any single issuer's outstanding voting securities, nor will it invest in any issuer such that more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be allocated to that issuer's securities. These investment restrictions aim to ensure that the portfolio approximates the composition of its targeted index. However, it is important to note that this limitation does not apply to obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities.
