Pear Tree Axiom Emerging Markets World Equity Fund Ordinary Class 

The fund aims to achieve long-term capital appreciation for its investors. Under typical market conditions, it commits a minimum of 80% of its total assets (which includes any funds borrowed for investment) to equity instruments from companies located in emerging markets. This includes various forms of stock-based investments such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), warrants, and rights. Additionally, the fund may strategically use derivatives – complex financial tools whose value is determined by another asset's price fluctuations – either to hedge against potential losses in the portfolio or to establish future market positions.
