About DREGX
The Driehaus Emerging Markets Growth Fund Investor Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on capturing capital appreciation by investing in the equity securities of companies located in emerging markets. Emphasizing a growth investment style, the fund primarily holds common stocks and other equity instruments of firms spanning all market capitalizations within developing economies. Its objective is to maximize capital appreciation by seeking out companies poised for above-average earnings or revenue growth. The portfolio is typically diversified across sectors such as technology, financial services, consumer, and communication services, with notable holdings including leading names like Tencent Holdings, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Samsung Electronics. By allocating at least 80% of its assets to emerging markets, the fund plays a significant role in connecting investors to the growth potential and diversification benefits these regions offer, while also exposing them to the unique risks associated with currency fluctuations, political instability, and economic volatility inherent in emerging markets. Established in 1997, the fund is designed for long-term investors seeking exposure to dynamic, developing markets across the globe.
