The fund aims to provide investors with exposure to frontier market equities by offering diversified exposure to the top 40 blue chip stocks from frontier markets.
Fund Exposure
The fund is characterized by its exposure to the 40 largest companies from frontier markets, weighted by free-float adjusted market capitalization and reviewed on a semiannual basis.
Risks
Investors should be aware that the fund is exposed to less economically developed economies, known as frontier/pre-emerging markets, which involve greater risks than well-developed economies and emerging markets. Political unrest, less government regulation, economic downturn, and limited liquidity may impact the value of the investment. Additionally, the fund enters into derivatives with counterparties, and if the counterparty fails to make payments, it may result in investment losses.
