About EMFIX
Ashmore Emerging Markets Equity Fund Institutional Class is a mutual fund focused on providing long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities and equity-related securities from emerging market issuers. The fund employs a disciplined, fundamentally driven investment process that is index-unconstrained, emphasizing stocks with higher quality and growth attributes across the full market capitalization spectrum. This approach results in a concentrated, high-conviction portfolio typically comprising companies that derive significant revenue or assets from emerging market countries, including those in Asia, Latin America, and beyond. The fund’s sector exposure is diversified but leans notably toward information technology, financials, and industrials, with major holdings such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Tencent Holdings, and HDFC Bank. Through its focus on both bottom-up stock selection and top-down country analysis, the fund seeks to capitalize on growth opportunities presented by dynamic and often underrepresented markets. Since its inception in 2011, the fund has played a significant role in offering institutional investors access to the growth potential and diversification benefits characteristic of emerging economies, all while maintaining rigorous risk controls specific to the challenges of these markets.
