About BEMCX
Brandes Emerging Markets Value Fund Class C is a mutual fund that focuses on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located or operating predominantly in emerging market countries. Its portfolio typically includes common and preferred stocks, as well as other equity-related instruments, from businesses that derive a significant portion—over 80%—of their revenues, assets, or operations from emerging markets across Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The fund follows a disciplined value investing approach, seeking companies that appear undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth based on comprehensive fundamental analysis. This strategy may result in sector or country concentrations that differ from benchmark indices, and the fund often maintains a diversified portfolio by limiting exposure to any single issuer. By providing exposure to a wide array of developing economies, Brandes Emerging Markets Value Fund Class C serves as a potential diversifier in broader investment portfolios, appealing to investors seeking participation in the growth prospects of emerging markets while employing a value-driven philosophy.
