BGEG
BGEG is actively managed, seeking long-term capital appreciation by investing equity securities of companies located in emerging and frontier market countries. Using a bottom-up stock selection approach, portfolio managers identify companies with attractive long-term growth prospects. The fund typically holds a diversified portfolio of 60 to 100 growth companies across a range of market capitalizations, and may invest in common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, depositary receipts, participatory notes, rights, warrants, and ETFs. The fund may have significant exposure to a single country, including China, and expects to invest in China A shares. Securities are held for at least five years, resulting in low portfolio turnover. The fund does not hedge currency exposure and may invest without limitation in non-US dollar denominated securities. ESG characteristics may also be considered as part of the investment process.
