Emerging Market Funds
Emerging market funds invest in securities tied to economies or capital markets classified as emerging rather than developed.
Emerging market, global, international, and foreign-holding fund terms.
Global, Emerging, and Foreign-Holding Funds terms classify funds by investment mandate, asset class, style, geography, lifecycle design, income goal, or risk profile.

Emerging market funds invest in securities tied to economies or capital markets classified as emerging rather than developed.
A global fund invests across domestic and foreign markets, giving its mandate worldwide scope rather than excluding its designated domestic market.
International funds invest primarily outside their designated domestic market and can provide developed, emerging, regional, or broad foreign-market exposure.
