About ECEMX
Parametric Emerging Markets Fund Class C is a diversified mutual fund focused on providing broad exposure to equities in emerging market countries. The fund is structured to target long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in the stocks of companies located in developing regions across Asia, Latin America, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Employing a rules-based, top-down investment process, the fund emphasizes allocation toward small- and mid-sized countries and sectors — countries are weighted equally within defined tiers based on their size and liquidity, with regular rebalancing to maintain target allocations. This strategy is designed to systematically capture gains by selling into market strength and purchasing into weakness.
With holdings spanning over 45 countries and more than 1,100 securities, the fund seeks broad sector and geographic diversification, mirroring the dynamics of global growth markets. The investment objective is benchmarked to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and annual distributions occur. The fund’s diversified approach makes it a vehicle for gaining access to growing economies and sectors that may not be well-represented in developed markets, thus playing a key role in the portfolios of investors seeking global diversification and emerging markets exposure.
