Our read on EMKT

ETF.net Research

COld-school value hunting in emerging markets: Lazard's managers buy non-US companies they read as cheap on earnings, cash flow, or asset values. A human-picked portfolio with roots in 2013, not an index clone.

Stated mandate

The Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. It primarily invests in equity securities, principally common stocks, of non-U.S. companies whose main activities are in emerging markets and that the manager considers undervalued based on earnings, cash flow, or asset values.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Real stock picking: managers target EM companies they judge undervalued on earnings, cash flow, or asset values, so the lineup can look nothing like a cap-weighted benchmark.
  2. 02The strategy dates to 2013, so it has been run through multiple emerging-market cycles rather than launched into whatever theme is hot this year.
  3. 03Simple plumbing: a standard 1940 Act equity fund holding common stocks of non-US companies, not a derivatives wrapper you need a manual to decode.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.74% it runs above the typical active EM fund, and the cohort's strongest-rated names (AVEM, JEMA, AVXC) charge 0.33%. It sits in the lower half of that peer group.
  2. 02Thin trading volume and a modest asset base mean bid-ask spreads matter more here than in the giant EM index funds.
  3. 03Cash distributions arrive once or twice a year at most; the stated goal is long-term capital appreciation, not income.
