BKES

Typically, this fund commits at least 80% of its net assets (supplemented by any capital borrowed for investment purposes) to purchasing equity securities of companies situated in emerging markets. These firms are specifically chosen for their appealing investment attributes and demonstrated adherence to sustainable business practices. The fund manager defines 'emerging market countries' as all nations represented within the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index, which also serves as the fund's performance benchmark. Its portfolio is predominantly composed of common stocks. The fund operates as a non-diversified investment vehicle.
