About EMQCX
The Ashmore Emerging Markets Active Equity Fund Class C is a diversified mutual fund with a primary objective of long-term capital appreciation. It invests chiefly in equity securities from emerging market countries, drawing on a fundamentally driven, bottom-up stock selection process that is not constrained by traditional benchmarks. The fund’s portfolio emphasizes companies with higher-quality and higher-growth attributes, resulting in a high-conviction collection of best ideas from across sectors and regions. Major sector exposures typically include information technology, communication services, and financials, and top holdings often feature leading firms such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Tencent Holdings. The fund is actively managed and displays a high turnover rate, reflecting its dynamic approach to capturing growth opportunities in rapidly developing economies. Serving investors seeking broad exposure to emerging equity markets, this fund plays a role in global asset allocation strategies designed to access growth potential outside of developed regions. Investors should note its higher expense ratio and elevated portfolio turnover, which are important considerations for cost-sensitive allocations. The fund’s sector and regional weightings may diverge considerably from standard emerging market indices, underlining its active, conviction-driven approach.
