As at 31 May 2021, the Fund had holdings in approximately 2,950 companies. This reflects our approach of seeking to deliver highly diversified exposure to small- and mid-cap emerging markets value companies. Over the six-month period ending 31 May 2021, the total return of the Fund in U.S. dollars (the base currency of the Fund) was 26.58%. This compares to a total return of 25.71% for the MSCI Emerging Markets SMID Value Index (the “Index”). The Fund’s greater emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks contributed positively to relative performance, as value stocks outperformed high relative price (growth) stocks. The Index has been included for market context purposes only.
