DFSE is actively managed to seek long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests in emerging market companies across various market-caps and sectors, with emphasis on smaller companies, lower relative price, and higher perceived profitability. The fund may invest using ADRs, China A-shares, and variable interest entities. In assessing relative price and profitability, the adviser looks at balance sheet ratios and performance. The adviser may choose to adjust a companys allocation in the fund based on short-term considerations like price momentum and investment characteristics. DFSE may also modify component weights by looking at environmental and other sustainability factors. The use of derivatives or securities lending may be pursued in order to generate additional income. It may also use forward currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exposure.
