A Voracious Appetite for Growth in Emerging Markets
We believe there remains significant room to run for growth in emerging markets. GDP has continued to rise and the public equity market’s percentage share has risen alongside it.
- Understanding just how far these markets have come in the last few years in terms of total trading activity is astounding, in our opinion. Liquidity has been increasing and the fishing pond today is twice as big.1
- The last few years have seen a significant rise in trading activity, with emerging market equities averaging $23 trillion in annual trading volume—four times the average of the 2010s—and surpassing developed markets ex US, which have stagnated since 2009.1
- The opportunity set for emerging market large-cap investors has expanded, with the number of companies valued at $10 billion or more doubling from roughly 250 to approximately 500.1
Understanding the growth potential in emerging markets is one piece of the picture, the other pieces are put into place when you choose to work with an investment manager who not only deeply understands the global markets but also puts client alignment at the forefront.
Takeaways
— Increase in liquidity

Understanding Investment Risk
Investing involves risks, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. International investments may involve the risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or social, economic, or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. The Fund is non-diversified. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in small-and mid-size companies may be more volatile and less liquid than those of large companies. Investments in commodities are subject to higher volatility than more traditional investments. Trading in China through Stock Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns, including a daily quota that limits the maximum net purchase under the Stock Connect each day.
