Emerging Markets Trust
| Inception Date | APIR Code |
| September 1, 2000 | -- |
The objective of the Emerging Markets Trust is to provide long-term capital growth by gaining exposure to a diversified portfolio of value companies associated with approved emerging markets. The Trust is designed to be a component of a global equity portfolio.
The portfolios eligible universe includes the listed ordinary shares or depository receipts of value companies, as defined by a high book-to-market ratio, associated with approved emerging markets.
Investments in eligible companies typically will be in proportion to their market capitalisation within each country. However, to manage turnover and take advantage of favourable trading opportunities, the Trust may not exactly match specific company weights.
Eligible countries currently include Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. Countries will generally be market capitalisation weighted, but with a buy cap of 15% for any one country. This reduces the portfolio's exposure to market and political risk in the largest countries.
