The Fund aims to provide income by investing primarily in dividend-yielding equity securities of emerging market companies, whilst participating in long-term capital growth.
Targets a high-conviction portfolio of emerging markets (EM) equities with a disciplined focus on both income generation and capital growth. Invests in high-dividend securities and companies exhibiting strong fundamental quality. Maintains a concentrated portfolio typically consisting of 50 to 80 holdings.
Led by lead portfolio manager Omar Negyal, who brings over 20 years of emerging markets experience and has managed the strategy since its 2012 inception. Supported by two designated backup portfolio managers and the broader J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets and Asia Pacific team. Benefits from the insights of nearly 100 research analysts, including dedicated sector and country specialists.
Aims to maintain favorable yield levels across market cycles primarily through underlying dividend income rather than capital erosion. Targets consistent total return outperformance relative to dividend-focused emerging market peers over the long term. Designed to achieve lower volatility than both the benchmark and peer group through a structural focus on stable, dividend-paying companies.
Employs a bottom-up investment approach driven by fundamental research into business stability, competitive advantages, and cash flow generation. Maintains a structural allocation of approximately 60% of the portfolio to stocks yielding between 3% and 5%. Incorporates a persistent tilt toward quality and value characteristics to enhance downside protection during market stress.

It serves as a specialized allocation for investors seeking emerging market growth coupled with consistent income generation. The strategy's quality and value orientation provides a defensive mechanism for better downside control during risk-off environments. It is best utilized as a complementary component within a broadly diversified portfolio to manage the inherent geographical and concentration risks of emerging markets.
