- AMG GW&K Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class I (TLESX) is a mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of issuers located in emerging market countries; under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in such equities, which may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, and exchange-traded funds. The fund employs a bottom-up, growth-oriented, fundamental investment approach, targeting early-stage and traditional growth companies with meaningful exposure to emerging markets growth, including those domiciled in emerging markets or developed market companies serving emerging consumers. It is subadvised by GW&K Investment Management, LLC, an independent investment manager and affiliate of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) since 2008, which was founded in 1974 and is headquartered at 222 Berkeley Street, 15th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116; GW&K manages approximately $55 billion in assets across 32 strategies, including domestic equity, global equity, taxable bonds, and municipal bonds, serving institutional investors, financial advisors, endowments, and mutual funds via separate accounts, U.S. mutual funds, UCITS, and private funds. Geographically, the fund focuses on diversified emerging markets worldwide, such as those tracked by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index benchmark. In January 2019, the fund changed its name from AMG Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund to its current name, reflecting the integration of GW&K branding following prior affiliations, with no major acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or strategic shifts reported for the fund or subadvisor in 2024 or 2025.
