EMIF provides concentrated exposure to 30 of the largest emerging market infrastructure firms. For EMIF, the infrastructure industry only spans three sectors: energy, transportation and utilities. Notably, the fund completely excludes telecom firms. EMIFs cherry-picked sector exposure and its small, 30-holding portfolio give the fund a narrower geographic scope. The funds index sets target weights for the three clusters20% for energy, 40% for transportation and 40% for utilitiesand then applies market-cap-weighting to each cluster. The index is rebalanced semi-annually.
