About EMILX
Lord Abbett Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class I is a diversified mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities connected to emerging market economies. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to stocks and related derivative instruments of companies that are economically linked to regions outside the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and most Western European countries. Its portfolio spans a broad geographic spectrum, providing exposure to the growth potential of developing markets across Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The fund employs a blend strategy, investing in both growth and value equities, and seeks to capture diverse opportunities across sectors, often holding a substantial number of individual securities—generally in the range of 90 to 100 positions. With a net expense ratio of 0.90%, it is positioned competitively among its peers in terms of cost. The fund’s annual dividend distribution and institutional share class structure make it suited for investors seeking diversification and professional management in the emerging markets equity segment.
