ILF is a concentrated bet on the Latin American market, with a portfolio comprised of just 40 names and a heavy concentration among the top 10 holdings. The stocks included in this vanilla fund are hand-picked by an index committee from blue-chip companies trading in Brazil, Chil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The fund's sector and country bets are minimal and overall, ILF provides comprehensive, neutral exposure to large-caps in emerging Latin American markets. Additionally, instead of replicating the index, ILF uses representative sampling indexing. The index is weighted by float-adjusted market cap and rebalanced on a quarterly basis. However, there is no annual or semi-annual reconstitution, as this is done on an as-needed basis.
