About MCEIX
The Martin Currie Emerging Markets Fund Class I is an institutional mutual fund designed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation through exposure to emerging market equities. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of issuers with significant economic ties to one or more emerging market countries, employing a bottom-up, fundamental research approach focused on company fundamentals rather than macroeconomic trends. The strategy emphasizes identifying high-quality companies with robust balance sheets and sustainable growth potential, often integrating ESG factors into its analysis to uncover value overlooked by the broader market.
The fund is classified within the diversified emerging markets category and follows a large growth investment style. Its holdings are concentrated in leading companies across technology, financial services, energy, and consumer sectors, with notable positions in firms such as Samsung Electronics, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Tencent Holdings. The fund maintains a relatively concentrated portfolio, with its top ten holdings representing nearly half of its assets. With a below-average expense ratio compared to its peers and a minimum initial investment tailored to institutional clients, the Martin Currie Emerging Markets Fund Class I plays a significant role for those seeking diversified, actively managed access to the growth potential of emerging markets.
