About TSEMX

Touchstone Sands Capital Emerging Markets Growth Fund Class Y is a mutual fund specializing in long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries, with occasional exposure to frontier markets. The fund employs an active management approach, focusing on a concentrated portfolio of around 40 holdings, which is significantly fewer than broader emerging market indices. Its investment style targets large-cap growth companies, emphasizing sectors such as financials, consumer discretionary, information technology, and consumer staples. Key holdings often include industry leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and MercadoLibre, reflecting a bias towards innovation and market leadership in developing economies. Geographic allocation is diverse, with notable overweight positions in countries like India and Brazil compared to typical emerging market benchmarks. The fund is non-diversified, allowing for select bets in high-conviction growth opportunities. Managed by Sands Capital, the fund seeks to leverage in-depth research and long-term perspectives to identify enterprises poised for sustained growth, playing a meaningful role for investors seeking exposure to dynamic emerging markets within a diversified portfolio.
