Fund Description

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of emerging market companies at the time of purchase. The Fund considers a security to be tied economically to an emerging market if one or more of the following criteria is present: (i) the issuer or guarantor of the security has its principal place of business or principal office in an emerging market; (ii) the principal trading market for the security is in an emerging market; (iii) the issuer or guarantor of the security derives a majority of its revenue from emerging markets; or (iv) the currency of settlement of the security is the currency of an emerging market.
The Fund considers “emerging market” to mean any market that is considered to be an emerging market by the international financial community (including the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or Bloomberg Emerging Markets USD Aggregate Bond Index). Emerging markets generally exclude the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, and most nations located in Western Europe. The Fund invests in equity securities regardless of market capitalization (small, medium, or large) and style (growth or value).
