Extracting growth alpha in emerging markets

• Emerging markets are home to the world’s fastest-growing economies and their long-term equity returns have

  time and we believe the best way to capture this is to focus on the structural growth latent in select emerging
  markets companies.

  investors may be attributed to indexes and low-tracking error investment approaches that have been slow to reflect
  fundamental changes in emerging markets growth dynamics.

  portfolios are best constructed agnostic of index geographic and sector weights.
