About MCECX
Martin Currie Emerging Markets Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity and related securities of companies based in—or closely tied to—emerging and developing markets. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets to issuers from regions such as Asia, Latin America, Eastern and Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, reflecting its commitment to tapping growth opportunities in economies with high development potential.
Notable for its fundamentals-based and high conviction investment approach, the fund incorporates risk-aware portfolio construction and embeds environmental, social, and governance (ESG) analysis into its process. With over 60 holdings and a moderate turnover rate, it provides diversified exposure to dynamic markets not always represented in traditional portfolios. Managed by Legg Mason Global Asset Management Trust, the fund appeals to investors seeking diversified, international equity exposure and access to emerging market growth trends. Since its inception in July 2018, the fund has aimed to deliver market-relevant returns, backed by disciplined research and active management.
