Investors seeking an emerging market (EM) equities allocation that offers high stability and downside protection, alongside a strong ESG integration process, may find this fund appealing.Due to the riskier nature of EM, investors should be mindful that the Fund can experience periods of heightened volatility compared to investing in developed markets, although the Fund has historically displayed lower volatility compared to peers within the EM space. Regardless, investors are encouraged to use this fund in tandem with a globally diversified portfolio.Updated as of 2024/05/31
