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…

Investment process
The management of this fund draws on JPM's large emerging markets team. Idea generation is driven by the sector specialist analysts and stock ideas can be held across a number of the group's funds. In emerging markets company research is more orientated towards qualitative judgement than it is in the developed markets. Research is focused on long term business prospects, where the team seek to invest in profitable companies and one of the considerations is the likely return on invested capital. Companies are ranked on a score of 1 to 5 where 1 is best although the portfolio manager has discretion over his holdings. Generally only high conviction stocks are held although the manager can hold stocks for relative risk management in order to manage the fund's tracking error. The manager can draw on an in house asset allocation model although in practice stock selection is a bigger driver of portfolio construction.

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.
