About AAEMX
Alger Emerging Markets Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in the equities of companies located in emerging markets. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to stocks across diverse sectors and regions within emerging economies, targeting both established and rapidly growing firms identified through in-depth fundamental research. Characterized by a concentrated portfolio—generally holding fewer than 50 positions—the fund takes an opportunistic approach, aiming to capitalize on growth opportunities while maintaining diversification within the emerging market universe. It is actively managed, with a relatively high portfolio turnover rate, reflecting frequent adjustments to capitalize on changing market conditions and company fundamentals. The fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to the potential growth and diversification benefits of emerging markets, playing a role in globally diversified investment strategies seeking higher long-term growth potential, albeit with higher volatility and risk compared to developed market equity funds.
