Description

The Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund (Investor Class) primarily seeks capital appreciation by investing in growth-oriented equity securities. These include common stocks and other ownership interests in companies. Under typical market conditions, the fund allocates a substantial portion—at least 80%—of its total net assets (including any borrowed funds used for investment) to companies based in emerging market economies. The portfolio offers considerable flexibility regarding geographical concentration; there are no fixed limits on the proportion of assets that may be deployed in any single nation's equities at any given time. Consequently, the fund is permitted to commit a significant amount of capital to a particular emerging market country if deemed appropriate.
