About PEMMX
Putnam Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks of companies located in emerging markets. The fund typically holds between 40 to 60 high-conviction positions, resulting in a relatively concentrated portfolio where the top ten holdings account for over 40% of assets. Its portfolio spans sectors including technology, financial services, and consumer cyclical industries, with notable exposures to companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Tencent Holdings, and ICICI Bank. The fund maintains a large-growth investment style and seeks to exploit market inefficiencies across countries with developing economies. Established in 2008, the fund is managed with a strategy that targets both growth and value stocks of any size within the emerging markets universe. As part of the diversified emerging markets category, it offers investors access to rapidly growing regions with evolving economic potential and plays a significant role in portfolios seeking global diversification and exposure to non-developed markets.
