- Baron Emerging Markets Fund Retail Shares (BEXFX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Baron Capital Management, Inc., that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of growth companies domiciled, headquartered, or conducting primary business activities in developing countries, including those in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index; the fund normally allocates at least 80% of its net assets to such emerging market equities, with up to 20% in developed or frontier markets, focusing on companies across all market capitalizations, particularly those with significant growth potential in sectors like technology, industrials, consumer discretionary, financials, and communication services. Key holdings as of late 2025 include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (11.3%), Tencent Holdings Limited (5.3%), Alibaba Group Holding Limited (4.1%), HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd. (3.2%), and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (3.1%), representing diversified exposure to leading firms in semiconductors, internet services, e-commerce, shipbuilding, and electric vehicle batteries; top sectors encompass information technology (26.4%), industrials (22.6%), and consumer discretionary (15.8%), with geographic emphasis on China (29.6%), India (25.5%), South Korea (16.2%), and Taiwan (16.1%). Launched on December 31, 2010, with net assets of approximately $3.72 billion as of September 30, 2025, the fund maintains a 1.37% expense ratio, 37.16% three-year average turnover, and is managed by Michael Kass since inception; it is domiciled in the United States and available to U.S. investors with a minimum initial investment of $2,000. In recent periods, portfolio adjustments have included new positions in Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers BYD Company Limited and XPeng Inc. in Q1 2025 to bolster sustainability and ESG themes, alongside increases in holdings like Bajaj Finance Limited, MercadoLibre, Inc., and Alibaba Group Holding Limited; the fund outperformed its MSCI Emerging Markets Index benchmark in Q1 2025 amid U.S. policy shifts and tariff uncertainties. Baron Capital, the parent firm founded in 1982 and headquartered in New York, has pursued major expansions including the establishment of a Dubai office in July 2025 to serve Middle East investors, the launch of four new UCITS funds in July 2025 for non-U.S. clients (Baron Capital US Small Cap Fund; Baron Capital US Real Estate Fund; Baron Capital US Opportunity Fund; Baron Capital Global Durable Advantage Fund), and five active ETFs in December 2025, reflecting broader strategic growth in global distribution without direct impact on BEXFX operations.
