What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Fund seeks a favorable long-term total return, mainly through capital appreciation, by investing primarily in a portfolio of emerging market equity investments based on a market index.

Strategy, summarised

The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities that comprise the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, buying most but not necessarily all of the stocks in that index to closely match its overall investment attributes. Because the fund does not hold all index constituents and incurs fees and trading costs that the index itself does not, its returns will lag those of the benchmark.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 20.28%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 3.60pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.72pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
