About the Fund

Investment Aim

The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation, by investing at least 70% of its Total Asset Value in equity securities whose principal activities are in Emerging Market Countries. The Sub-Investment Manager expects that the Fund will typically hold between 50 to 70 securities in its portfolio at any one time, though the Fund may hold fewer than 50 securities and more than 70 securities if deemed in the best interests of the Fund by the Sub-Investment Manager.

About the Investment Team

Esemplia's culture is one built upon in-depth experience in these markets for almost two decades. It is one founded upon discipline, respect, transparency and accountability. Esemplia's people are best described as being as diverse as the markets in which they invest with representation of some 16 nationalities and 14 languages with a number of individuals having lived and worked in two or more emerging markets. This eclectic mix provides a unique blend of experience and perspective which we believe is particularly conducive to managing monies in emerging markets.
