EMSF actively invests in common and preferred stocks of companies in emerging markets, including countries that may be considered frontier. While the fund has an all-cap exposure, it expects to invest substantially in smaller companies. The fund looks for sustainable growth based on fundamental characteristics such as balance sheet information, size, cash flow stability, and financial health. It also applies various ESG standards, using third-party data and the adviser's proprietary research, to identify investments that potentially contribute to a sustainable future by addressing global environmental and social challenges. The fund also employs exclusionary ESG screens, which avoid controversial businesses such as tobacco, weapons, and fossil fuels. The fund may engage its portfolio companies on sustainability and governance matters through active dialogue, exercising shareholder rights, and encouraging enhanced ESG disclosure.
