Our read on EMEQ
DMacquarie's high-conviction swing at emerging markets: roughly 60 stocks, actively picked, no index to hide behind. It launched in 2024 and trades easily for a newcomer, and you pay up for that concentration.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Roughly 60 holdings, so individual picks actually move the fund. This is a concentrated active portfolio, not a closet index carrying hundreds of names.
- Trades smoothly for a fund this young. Execution quality is one of its stronger showings against active emerging markets peers.
- The mandate is refreshingly plain: emerging markets equity, actively managed, seeking long-term capital appreciation. No thematic overlay, no leverage.
Worth knowing
- At 0.86% a year it runs above the 0.65% median for active EM funds, and the top-graded systematic peers (AVEM, JEMA, DFEM) charge 0.33% to 0.39%.
- Launched in 2024, so the live record is short and risk readings rest on a thin history rather than a full market cycle.
- On cost and portfolio construction it sits toward the back of a crowded active emerging markets field.
