General Objective
The fund aims to achieve a combination of growth and income by investing in smaller capitalization companies in Emerging Market countries, which adhere to the abrdn Emerging Markets Smaller Companies Promoting ESG Equity Investment Approach. The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index benchmark before charges.
Fund Exposure
The Fund invests at least 70% in smaller capitalization equities and equity-related securities of companies listed, incorporated, or domiciled in Emerging Market countries or having significant operations and/or exposure to Emerging Market countries. Smaller capitalization companies are defined as companies with a market capitalization of under US$5 billion. The Investment Approach utilized by the fund focuses on identifying and avoiding ESG laggards, with a set of company exclusions related to the UN Global Compact, Controversial Weapons, Tobacco Manufacturing, and Thermal Coal.
Risks
Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss than investing in more developed markets due to factors such as political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity, and regulatory risks. Additionally, the fund's investments in equity and equity-related securities are sensitive to variations in the stock markets, which can be volatile and change substantially in short periods of time.
