AGEM is an actively managed fund that holds dividend-paying emerging market equities to seek income and long-term capital appreciation. The fund primarily holds stocks of any market capitalization, perceived to be fundamentally sound and have proprietary quality factors. The funds objective starts by identifying the dividend potential and fundamental performance from the investable universe, using factors such as the durability of the business model, the attractiveness of the industry, financial strength, management's capability, and ESG factors impacting a company. From these, the adviser aims to select high dividend paying companies perceived to have potential to grow their dividends over time. AGEM was previously a mutual fund with just under $12 million in AUM prior to converting.
