About WAFMX

The Wasatch Frontier Emerging Small Countries Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund that focuses on delivering long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies from frontier and small emerging market countries. Utilizing a bottom-up, fundamental research process, the fund seeks to identify high-quality companies with significant long-term growth potential in markets often overlooked by larger global funds. Its portfolio generally comprises 30 to 70 positions, providing exposure to various sectors such as financial services, technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services. The fund is actively managed with a collaborative approach, emphasizing direct research and due diligence in target markets. By concentrating investments in less-developed and rapidly evolving economies, the fund plays a unique role in providing access to growth opportunities that may be underrepresented in traditional emerging market strategies. Established in 2012, the fund is known for its higher expense ratio, reflecting its intensive research process and distinctive market coverage, and it remains open to investors seeking diversification beyond conventional developed and large emerging market funds.
