Price (Acc)
These are the shares in the fund that don’t pay out an income to clients. Any dividends – the money a company can pay out to its investors – are reinvested into companies in the fund. Despite no income, the shares should be worth more over time. Good incentive, eh?

Yield
How much the fund is currently paying out in income to investors. It’s NOT to be confused with the overall growth of a fund – a very different thing indeed. It’s also NOT a guarantee of future pay-outs, just a snapshot. This is more what it’s not than what it is…
The funds objective is to achieve long term capital growth by closely matching the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

Investment process
The fund's investment objective is to provide long term capital growth by matching the capital performance of MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The fund uses a physical replication method which means the underlying index securities are purchased directly to provide investors access to the market. Though primarily an equity fund, the managers will also use futures, a type of derivative which provides liquid exposure to the whole of the index. These are used to manage cash balances in the fund - by buying and selling futures the manager can regulate market exposure in response to inflows and outflows without the costs involved in trading all of the shares in the portfolio. The fund currently offers no exposure to India. This fund does not engage in securities lending.
This fund provides a simple, low cost way of investing in Emerging Markets equities, especially those comprising the MSCI Emerging Markets index. This index is made up of large, well known companies and offers geographical and sector diversification, although investors should be aware that emerging economies are subject to political risk and markets are typically more volatile compared to the developed regions.

About the MRI
Our unique indicator: the Bestinvest Manager Record Index (MRI) measures the likelihood that the fund manager is adding value through their decisions. It is based on their performance record over the course of their career, adjusted for the amount of risk taken. MRI is an important contributor to our fund rating system but it is also vital to take account of qualitative factors. It is also very important to select funds to form a cohesive portfolio with an appropriate overall risk level.
