- Parametric Emerging Markets Fund (EAEMX) is an open-end mutual fund that employs a rules-based, top-down investment strategy to capture quantitative and behavioral inefficiencies in emerging markets equities, with emphasis on small- and mid-sized countries and economic sectors; it equally weights countries within liquidity-defined tiers, systematically rebalances to target weights by selling strength and buying weakness, and diversifies at the sector level within countries while including select frontier markets. The fund primarily invests in non-U.S. stocks (approximately 98% allocation), spanning sectors such as financial services, industrials, communication services, technology, and basic materials; top holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, Delta Electronics (Thailand) PCL, Tencent Holdings Ltd, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, and America Movil SAB de CV, with geographic exposure across emerging Asia, Latin America, developed Asia, emerging Europe, and the Middle East. Launched on June 30, 2006, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is sub-advised by Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC—a Seattle-based investment manager founded in 1987, majority-owned by Eaton Vance Corp (now part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management), and available for sale principally to U.S. investors with a minimum initial investment of $1,000.
In recent developments, portfolio managers Gregory Liebl and Jennifer Mihara joined the team effective July 1, 2024, complementing long-standing managers Paul Bouchey and Jennifer Sireklove. On December 17, 2025, Parametric Portfolio Associates announced strategic partnerships with Harding Loevner and Schafer Cullen Capital Management to expand its Custom Active Partner Network, adding over 16 new tax-optimized active equity strategies year-to-date, including Morgan Stanley Investment Management's Applied Equity Advisors suite. These enhancements support Parametric's broader offerings in systematic equity, tax-managed core equity, and customized solutions, with total firm assets under management reaching approximately $574 billion as of December 31, 2024.
