- Ashmore Emerging Markets Active Equity Fund - Institutional Class (EMQIX) is an open-ended investment company that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in emerging markets equities and equity-related securities; it employs a dynamic, top-down fundamentally driven approach leveraging specialist expertise to construct a high-conviction portfolio of 40-60 stocks focused on large-cap growth opportunities across sectors such as information technology, financials, and communication services. The fund targets diversified exposure to emerging Asia, developed Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, with top holdings including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, Tencent Holdings Ltd, and ICICI Bank Ltd ADR; it benchmarks against the MSCI EM (Net Return) Index and maintains a net expense ratio of 1.05% for the Institutional Class, requiring a minimum initial investment of $1,000,000. Managed by Fernando Assad since inception on November 1, 2016, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is offered through Ashmore Group plc, a London-headquartered specialist emerging markets investment manager founded in 1992 with over $47 billion in assets under management as of mid-2025. The fund operates within Ashmore's broader suite of emerging markets strategies, including fixed income themes like external debt, local currency, corporate debt, and blended debt; equities; alternatives such as private equity, distressed debt, real estate, and infrastructure; and multi-asset solutions, serving institutional investors, pension funds, and high-net-worth individuals globally. Geographic focus spans key emerging regions including China (30.5%), Taiwan (24.1%), India (14.7%), South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and Peru, with approximately 94.7% allocated to non-US stocks and minimal cash holdings of around 2.5-5.6%. In recent developments, Ashmore Group has pursued strategic diversification and expansion, launching new products including an EM equity ex-China fund, frontier blended debt strategy, and impact debt strategy in fiscal year 2025; it formed a strategic distribution partnership with LV Distribution in July 2025 to enhance access for US registered investment advisors and family offices. The firm opened new offices in Qatar (May 2025) and Mexico to bolster local market presence, grew local office assets under management by 5% year-over-year driven by Colombia and India, and reported positive net flows into equities amid improved investor engagement with emerging markets outperforming developed markets. Assets under management for the fund stood at approximately $12.5-13.6 million as of mid-2025, reflecting ongoing active management with strong relative performance across Ashmore's portfolios.
