Key stats

DFEM is an actively managed fund that provides a total market solution in aim of achieving long-term capital appreciation, whilst balancing risk by allocating investments across various sectors, industries, and countries. The fund holds a diversified portfolio of emerging market companies of all market capitalizations, having an increased preference to small-cap firms considered to have lower relative price and higher profitability potential. Factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios are considered in assessing the relative price, while other ratios such as earnings or profits from operations are analyzed for profitability measures. While the fund claims to be market-cap-weighted, the advisor has full discretion to adjust a securitys exposure and increase or decrease emphasis on (or exclude) certain companies after taking into account several short-term factors like price momentum and investment characteristics, which are also the basis for stock selection.
