The Emerging Markets Equity strategy follows an investment approach grounded in bottom-up, fundamental analysis of individual companies, placed in the context of evolving secular trends across emerging markets.
The fund seeks to invest in competitively advantaged companies well positioned to capture secular growth opportunities, which, when mispriced by the market, may have the potential to deliver superior returns.
Long-term focus
Seeking to exploit long-term opportunities that arise from the market's tendency to focus on the short term
Core philosophy
Emphasis on companies with franchise durability and attractive valuations overestimated
Tenured team
Dedicated emerging markets team has managed the strategy since 2006
The foundation of the investment approach is based on two core characteristics the team believes endure over the long term:
Franchise durability – focusing on a company’s growth prospects, competitiveness, ability to capture value, and resilience
Intrinsic value – aiming to reduce risk of permanent loss of capital by seeking opportunities to participate in compounding
The approach to portfolio construction is based on high conviction within a risk aware framework.

Risk Disclosures
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal.
International investing (particularly in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards. Investing in emerging markets involves greater risk than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments, information about issuers may be less available or of a lesser quality, and securities markets may be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility.
Securities in the energy sector may be subject to price fluctuations due to various factors including real and perceived inflationary trends and political developments, the cost assumed in complying with environmental safety regulations, demand of energy fuels, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, and governmental regulations.
Diversification may not protect against market risk.
Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal.
Markets in the greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory, and
political uncertainties.

The use of illiquid securities are strictly constrained by client investment policy.
Issuers in the information technology sector may be impacted by intense competition; dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; obsolescence of existing technology; general economic conditions; and government regulation.
