Why is this fund different from other funds?
We believe our track record of investing in growth and emerging markets since 2000 demonstrates our research skills and ability to capture market inefficiencies.
Additionally, the fund invests in bonds mainly denominated in US dollars, which may limit some direct growth and emerging market currency volatility. Currency exposure drives a significant portion of risk and return in an unhedged, locally-denominated portfolio, and currency volatility may not be appropriate for all investors
Who should consider investing in this fund?
Any investor seeking to access investment opportunities offered by the burgeoning private sector in the Growth1 and Emerging economies.
Disclaimer: Emerging markets securities may be less liquid and more volatile and are subject to a number of additional risks, including but not limited to currency fluctuations and political instability.
The value of assets denominated in foreign currency may fluctuate due to currency fluctuation, which may reduce returns for the shareholder.
1 The Growth Markets include the 4 BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) and the 4 largest of the N-11 (Mexico, South Korea, Indonesia, and Turkey).
