About CEKRX

Columbia Emerging Markets Fund Institutional 2 Class is a mutual fund aiming to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equities, including common and preferred stocks as well as securities convertible into these instruments. It seeks to capture growth opportunities in developing economies by targeting well-run companies positioned to benefit from secular trends, employing both bottom-up fundamental research and top-down analysis in its investment process.
