With investing, your capital is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable guide to current or future performance, and should not be the only thing you consider when selecting a fund.
About this fund

One fund, a world of emerging economies

This actively managed fund primarily invests in equities of companies based in emerging market economies. At least 70% of the portfolio will be invested in shares of companies listed or conducting significant business in these regions. 

The fund has the flexibility to invest across other asset classes, sectors, and countries, depending on market conditions and opportunities identified by the fund managers.

Sector exposure

At present, this fund is most exposed in the financial, IT, consumer goods and industrial sectors — though this can shift over time. As it’s actively managed, these weightings don’t move in line with an index, but may be adjusted by the fund manager to manage risk or pursue investment opportunities as they arise.

Thematic

This fund is actively managed. Instead of tracking a specific index, its holdings are chosen by professional fund managers, who are attempting to outperform a portion of the market. Managers may use a reference benchmark to help measure performance and manage portfolio construction — while reserving the freedom to make diversions from the index when they need to.

Emerging Markets Fund FAQ's

Does this fund track and index?

This fund does not aim to replicate a benchmark. Instead, it used the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as a reference (or constraint) to help guide how it’s managed, without directly copying it.

What are emerging markets?

Emerging markets are countries undergoing development toward more advanced economic systems. Their markets are included in this index based on criteria such as size, liquidity, and accessibility.

Is this suitable for new investors?

This depends on your personal goals, time horizon, and risk appetite. Emerging markets can experience higher volatility than developed ones, and should generally be considered as part of a diversified portfolio.

Is this fund diversified?

The fund is diversified across companies, sectors, and countries within emerging markets. Because it’s actively managed, the fund manager can adjust the portfolio, increasing exposure to areas with more perceived potential and reducing it in regions or sectors they view as higher risk.
