Description

This fund typically dedicates at least 80% of its assets to securities issued by companies in developing nations. These are generally defined as countries with emerging stock markets (per MSCI), nations identified by the World Bank as having low-to-middle income economies, or other regions exhibiting comparable developmental characteristics. The fund may also include other investments economically linked to these developing regions. Its primary holdings typically consist of common equities, and the fund's manager strategically diversifies these investments across a variety of emerging market nations.
