- Brandes Emerging Markets Value Fund Class I (BEMIX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation through investments in equity securities of issuers located or active primarily in emerging markets, focusing on companies trading below their estimated intrinsic value as determined by a disciplined, bottom-up value-oriented approach; it normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in such securities, typically targeting companies with market capitalizations greater than $3 billion at purchase, across sectors including financial services, technology, communication services, consumer defensive, and consumer cyclical, with top holdings such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. The fund offers Class I shares with a net expense ratio of 1.11%, no front-end or deferred loads, a minimum initial investment of $100,000, quarterly dividend distributions, and exposure diversified across regions like Developed Asia (31%), Emerging Asia (28%), Latin America (27%), with allocations in countries including Taiwan, China, Brazil, South Korea, and Indonesia; it maintains approximately 60 holdings, a portfolio turnover reflecting active management, and characteristics such as a price/book ratio of 1.5x, price/earnings of 11.6x, and dividend yield of 3.9% as of recent data. Managed by the Emerging Markets Investment Committee comprising Christopher J. Garrett, Gerardo Zamorano, Louis Y. Lau, and Mauricio Abadia since inception, the fund operates under Brandes Investment Partners L.P., headquartered in San Diego, California, with fund inception on August 20, 1996, total net assets of approximately $823 million, and domicile in the United States, available primarily to U.S. investors. In recent developments, the fund paid an income dividend of $0.068542 per share on September 30, 2025, and Brandes Investment Partners received recognition from Investor’s Business Daily’s Best Mutual Funds Awards 2025 for strong performance across multiple funds, though not specifically BEMIX, alongside a Pensions & Investments' 2025 Best Places to Work in Money Management award in December 2025, reflecting ongoing strategic focus on value investing amid emerging market volatility.
