Emerging Markets Active Strategy
Investment Objective
Investment Objective
Investment Strategy
Investment Strategy
Equity securities of emerging market companies with market capitalizations comparable to companies included in the Index. "Emerging market companies" are companies domiciled, or doing a substantial portion of their business, in countries that SSGA considers at the time to have developing, emerging or frontier economies or securities markets.
SSGA uses proprietary analytical processes to identify countries and companies offering the greatest potential for outperformance from the Index. SSGA evaluates a country's economic and political climate, and its prospects for investment. In selecting specific industry sectors and companies, SSGA uses a variety of securities valuation methods. The Strategy may hold investment grade fixed-income securities in connection with its derivatives investments and on a short-term basis to manage the various exposures of the Strategy. The Strategy may invest in emerging markets indirectly through other investment pools. A Portfolio may also invest in the securities of Chinese companies, normally restricted to residents of the People’s Republic of China (commonly known as “A Shares” or “China A Shares”), through the Stock Connect program or other channels. SSGA may, but will not necessarily, enter into foreign currency exchange transactions for the Strategy. SSGA seeks to outperform the Index by 200 basis points (on an annualized basis) over the long term, with a projected active risk* of approximately 200 to 500 basis points. There can of course be no assurance that any Portfolio will achieve that level of performance or will maintain that level of active risk.
