Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Key contributors to (↑) and detractors from (↓) performance, relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the Index):

 

↓ Underweight exposure to South Korea detracted as returns for chipmakers propelled aggregate results for the country to a significant gain

↓ Underweight exposure to Taiwan detracted from the Fund’s index-relative returns as strong gains among technology stocks drove a substantial country-wide rally

↓ Sector weighting in Taiwan detracted because of an overweight in the industrials sector, which underperformed

↑ Underweight to China helped as aggregate results were negatively affected by weakness from the consumer discretionary and communication services segments

↑ Underweight to India helped as equity returns trailed the broader Index amid reports that India’s economy is at risk from AI substitution in IT services

↑ Sector allocations in Thailand contributed, due in part to an overweight allocation to IT, which drove headline results
