Investment Thesis

Value investing where value is deepest: EM's dividend payers returned +25% while yielding 4%, as the cheapest asset class on earth finally re-rated. Dividend weighting doubles as a quality screen — companies faking it can't pay cash for long.

Who It's For

Value-and-income investors who want the EM re-rating with a 4% yield as the margin of safety.
