About SEQFX
The Sit Emerging Markets Equity Fund is an open-end mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities from emerging market countries. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its net assets—plus any amounts from investment-related borrowings—into stocks and related instruments from companies operating in developing regions. Its diversified portfolio spans a wide array of sectors and countries, maintaining investments in at least six different emerging markets at any given time, though it can concentrate allocations when market opportunities arise.
The fund’s holdings encompass common stocks, preferred shares, warrants, participation notes, and depositary receipts across all company sizes. Notable portfolio positions often include leading firms such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings, and Samsung Electronics, indicating exposure to fast-growing technology, consumer, and financial sectors. Managed by SEI Investments Management Corporation, the fund plays a significant role for investors seeking international diversification and exposure to the growth potential of emerging economies, balancing risk through broad country and sector coverage while seeking to capitalize on the dynamism characteristic of these markets.
