About MPEMX
The Mondrian Emerging Markets Value Equity Fund is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation through investment in undervalued equity securities across emerging market countries. As a large value fund, it primarily invests in common stocks and may also allocate assets to convertible securities and exchange-traded funds, targeting companies that the adviser determines to be attractively priced relative to their intrinsic value. The fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio of approximately 40 to 60 companies, with sector exposures in technology, financial services, consumer cyclical, and energy among others. Major holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Samsung Electronics, Alibaba Group, and HDFC Bank, reflecting the fund’s emphasis on dominant players within emerging economies.
Mondrian employs a disciplined, value-oriented investment process, integrating bottom-up company analysis and top-down macroeconomic assessments. Dividend yield and expected future real growth are central to its decision-making, aiming to deliver returns that outpace U.S. inflation and reduce volatility relative to the broader emerging markets index. The fund’s structure is tailored for institutional investors, demonstrated by a relatively high minimum initial investment. Its management team is experienced, leveraging decades of emerging market expertise while actively managing risk, including through currency hedging and selective use of derivatives.
