About SEKAX
DWS Emerging Markets Equity Fund - Class A is a mutual fund designed to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equities from emerging markets. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets—plus any borrowed amounts for investment purposes—into stocks of companies that are either based in or conduct a significant portion of their business within emerging market countries. This strategy offers exposure to diverse sectors and industries in rapidly growing economies, such as those in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in equities from developed markets, including the US, or in emerging market debt, allowing for added diversification. With a moderate expense ratio and a minimum initial investment requirement, the fund is structured to cater to investors seeking participation in the growth potential of emerging economies. Managed by DWS, the fund aims to deliver consistent, risk-adjusted returns across varying global market conditions, reflecting its role as a vehicle for international equity exposure within a diversified investment portfolio.
