About WCFEX
The WCM Focused Emerging Markets ex China Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund that targets long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in equity securities of companies located in emerging and frontier markets, purposefully excluding those based in China. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equities within these regions, which include a diverse range of developing economies. By omitting China, the fund provides investors with exposure to the broader emerging markets universe without the concentration risk posed by the world's second-largest economy. The fund employs a focused investment approach, selectively holding a relatively concentrated portfolio of companies considered to have durable competitive advantages and attractive growth prospects. The fund's investment strategy also considers sustainability factors, as highlighted by its independent grading on environmental and social criteria, including issues like fossil fuel exposure, deforestation risk, and investments in sectors such as military weapons and private prisons. This vehicle plays a distinctive role in diversified portfolios, serving investors seeking emerging markets growth potential with a deliberate exclusion of China-related holdings.
