Overview
Investment Policy
The sub-fund invests primarily in either equity positions of issuers that have their headquarters in emerging markets and/or are listed on stock exchanges in those markets, or that have significant economic exposure to such markets, or in equivalents of equity positions (such as participatory notes or similar instruments with exposure to hard-to-access markets comparable to that of equities) and cash or cash-equivalent instruments.
The fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in shares of companies or issuers that have their registered offices in emerging markets or conduct a significant or growing portion of their business there. There are no limits or restrictions regarding currency or other specific economic or industrial sectors or niches.
Target Audience
The subfund is suitable for retail and institutional investors who view an investment fund as an easy way to invest in emerging market trends. However, investors must have experience with volatile investments. Investors must be able to withstand significant temporary losses and have a minimum investment horizon of 5 years.
Investment Objective
The sub-fund’s objective is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation on their investment through an actively managed portfolio. This objective is achieved by investing the sub-fund’s assets primarily in equity instruments of issuers that have their headquarters in emerging markets and/or are listed on stock exchanges in such markets, or that have significant economic exposure to such markets.

Risks
For information on the risks associated with this product, please refer to the Key Information Document (KID), which you can find on this page in the "Documents" section.
You should also be aware of currency risk. You may receive payments in a currency other than the reference currency, so the final return you receive will depend on the exchange rate between the two currencies. This risk is not taken into account in the risk indicator used in the key information document. The sub-fund may also be exposed to other risk factors not included in the summary risk indicator. Because this product is not protected against future market performance, you may lose all or part of your investment. If we are unable to pay you what is due to you, you may lose your entire investment.
