Fund Description
The fund was incepted in October 1995 and is managed by Massachusetts Financial Services Company. The fund's investment objective is capital appreciation. The fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks and related securities, such as preferred stock, convertible securities and depositary receipts, of emerging market issuers. Emerging market issuers are issuers whose principal activities are located in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries include any country determined to have an emerging market economy, taking into account a number of factors, including whether the country has a low-to-middle-income economy according to the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the country's foreign currency debt rating, its political and economic stability and the development of its financial and capital markets. These countries include those located in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the developing countries of Europe, primarily Eastern Europe. While the fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in issuers located in a single country, the fund generally expects to have no more than 25% of its assets invested in issuers located in any one country. The fund's investments may include securities traded in the over-the-counter markets. The fund offers dividends and capital gains annually.
