MEMS aims to capitalize on growth opportunities within the emerging market space, including frontier markets. With a primary focus on small companies, the fund allocates at least 65% of its assets to the common and preferred stocks of these enterprises, with the remaining portion comprising mid-cap companies. The fund seeks sustainable growth based on fundamental characteristics such as balance sheet strength, employee count, cash flow stability, management quality, product lines, marketing strategies, corporate governance, and financial health. Additionally, exclusionary ESG screens may be employed to avoid controversial businesses, such as tobacco, weapons, and fossil fuels. The fund issuer may engage with its portfolio companies on sustainability and governance matters through active dialogue, exercising shareholder rights, and encouraging enhanced ESG disclosure and implementation. Up to 20% of the fund's assets may be invested in developed market companies, including ADRs and GDRs.
