Fund Summary & Key Points

The Emerging Markets Equity UCITS (“Sub-Fund”) aims to generate capital growth over the long term. It mainly invests in securities of companies that are organized in emerging market countries. The investment team selects emerging market countries based on an evaluation of economic fundamentals, legal structure, political developments and other specific factors. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative measures, the investment manager seeks to invest in reasonably-priced companies that have strong structural growth potential. The Sub-Fund’s benchmark is the MSCI EM IMI.

The Emerging Markets Equity UCITS is expertly managed by a dedicated four-person investment team led by Portfolio Manager Ola El-Shawarby. In selecting the individual stocks, the investment team seeks attractive investment opportunities in all areas of emerging markets, and utilizes a flexible investment approach across all market capitalizations.

The Fund does not have sustainable investment as its investment objective. However, the Investment Manager seeks to (i) integrate financially-material environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into the Sub-Fund's investment process and to (ii) reduce material exposure to issuers that VanEck deems controversial in the ESG universe.

Main Risk Factors: Equity market risk, emerging markets risk, geopolitical risk, and foreign currency risk. Investors must consider all the fund's characteristics and objectives as detailed in the Prospectus or related documents before making an investment decision. Please refer to the KID and the sustainability-related disclosures in the document section for other important information before investing.
