Fund Details
Investment Thesis
The deepest value corner of global equities: EM small caps that actually pay out, weighted by those payments. +16% with a 3.8% yield from companies most funds never reach — local banks, Taiwanese component makers, African insurers — is diversification you cannot get from the EM mega-cap index.
Who It's For
Income-minded EM investors who want exposure beyond the index giants, paid to hold the asset class's cheapest corner.
