    Examining a complex global economy in pursuit ofEMERGING MARKET LEADERS.

    EMBEDDED EXPERTISEOur team remains one of the broadest, most experienced, and diverse in the industry. Analysts are located around the globe for a more thorough knowledge of companies to provide keener insights and uncover long-term prospects.

    DISTINCT DIVERSIFICATIONThe fund's country and sector weightings can vary from the benchmark and peers, offering investors an uncommon yet measured portfolio that has delivered good risk-adjusted returns in the face of recent challenging years in the emerging world.

    LONG-TERM FOCUSDeveloping economies are complex with unique risks, but the right investments can offer powerful growth potential for patient investors. The fund seeks reasonably priced industry leaders with solid management teams and a long runway for growth.

    Finding growth in evolving economies takes a coordinated, on-the-ground team of experts.

    The fund relies on MSCI, Inc., to determine which countries are considered emerging markets, and the fund expects to invest primarily in the highlighted countries above (other countries may be added or listed countries may be removed).
