About TSMGX
The Touchstone Sands Capital Emerging Markets Growth Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on providing long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries. Managed with a growth-oriented strategy, the fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio of 30 to 50 firms, emphasizing large-cap businesses identified through rigorous bottom-up research. It allocates at least 80% of its assets to equities, with investments spanning industries such as technology, financial services, consumer goods, and healthcare. Notably, the fund's top sector exposures include banking, semiconductors, retail, and consumer finance, and its holdings tend to have higher market capitalizations compared to the broader emerging markets index. The fund's approach is non-diversified, meaning it can take significant positions in select companies and industries, which may result in higher volatility. By targeting companies in developing economies, the fund aims to capture growth opportunities in markets with expanding middle classes and accelerating economic development, providing investors with exposure to regions like Asia, Latin America, and other emerging economies.
