This provides more diversification than its benchmark (MSCI Emerging Markets Index), which covers just over 1,100 stocks.

How it fits in a portfolio
Investors looking to gain a cost-effective exposure to the broad market can consider the Fund as a satellite position for equity allocation, due to the Fund's globally diversified universe of emerging-market equities, offering slightly greater diversification than its benchmark, which covers just over 1,100 stocks. Investors should remain mindful that the Fund is a regional equity strategy and will likely experience periods of heightened volatility and make sure their portfolio remains geographically diversified in most cases. The Fund has a tilt towards Value, Size and Profitability factors. These factors may undergo prolonged periods of underperformance in the short to medium term, despite strong evidence supporting their long-term outperformance.
