Fund commentary
Summary review
Given the strength of emerging market equities in 2025, one would have anticipated a somewhat more cautious start to 2026, and yet the benchmark rose in January. The South Korean market led the way, while India and Indonesia fell. The fund rose broadly in line with the benchmark during the month.

Risks
Investment risk & Currency risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Emerging markets risk
Investments can be made in emerging markets. These markets may be volatile and carry higher risk than developed markets.
Illiquid Securities Risk
Some investments could be hard to value or to sell at a desired time, or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities). As a result their prices can be volatile.
Sustainability Risk
The level of sustainability risk may fluctuate depending on which investment opportunities the Investment Manager identifies. This means that the fund is exposed to Sustainability Risk which may impact the value of investments over the long term.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
