The fund may purchase the stocks of companies of any size but typically emphasizes investments in small- and mid-cap companies. At times, the fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in the same economic sector, such as the information technology and industrials and business services sectors. The fund may invest in Chinese companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges such as A-shares (which are denominated in RMB) and shares of Chinese companies denominated in other currencies (such as the Hong Kong dollar or U.S. dollar) that trade in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, or otherwise outside of China. In addition to investments in Chinese companies, the fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in companies in other countries or markets, such as Japan or South Korea. Many of the areas in which the fund invests, including China, Macau, Taiwan and South Korea, are considered emerging markets.
