About TEMSX
Nuveen Emerging Markets Equity Fund Retirement is a diversified mutual fund focused on capturing long-term total return, primarily through capital appreciation, by investing in equity securities from emerging market countries. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to equities issued by companies in rapidly developing economies, drawing from a broad universe of market capitalizations and sectors. Its portfolio emphasizes firms with sustainable earnings growth, strong management, and distinct brands whose valuations do not fully reflect their long-term potential. The fund’s holdings are concentrated among major companies in sectors such as technology, energy, communication services, consumer cyclical, and financial services, with notable positions in firms like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Reliance Industries, and Tencent Holdings. Serving primarily retirement accounts, this fund plays a significant role in providing U.S. investors diversified access to equity markets outside developed economies, facilitating exposure to regions poised for structural economic growth and transformation.
