Emerging Markets

About

The Emerging Markets fund will focus on investing in companies that derive most of their revenue from outside of the United States. Some important geographies to consider and analyze will be Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America. The fund structure will have an educational component with weekly lectures and discussions surrounding different regions of the world and current events. The expectation for analysts in the fund will be to keep up with the educational materials, follow through with all fund responsibilities, and meaningfully contribute to dialogue surrounding portfolio management.
