About DEMAX

Macquarie Emerging Markets Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on delivering long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities from emerging market countries. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to companies located in markets recognized as developing by global financial authorities such as the World Bank and United Nations. These regions typically span Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Central America, providing exposure to dynamic economies with significant growth potential. Featuring a diversified portfolio, the fund emphasizes companies with sustainable business models and attractive valuations rather than targeting specific countries. Its holdings are concentrated in large-cap and blend-style equities, with technology, energy, and consumer sectors among notable allocations. Managed by a dedicated emerging markets team since 2006, the fund’s strategy seeks to capture structural growth opportunities while actively managing risks associated with emerging markets. Macquarie Emerging Markets Fund Class A plays a prominent role in the diversified emerging markets category, offering investors access to a broad array of companies that drive development in some of the world’s fastest-growing regions.
