Barings Emerging EMEA Opportunities. 

Managed by Baring Asset Management Limited, this closed-ended equity investment fund, originally established in January 1994 and domiciled in the United Kingdom, was formerly known as Baring Emerging Europe Trust. Its core objective is to invest in publicly traded companies across the emerging markets of Europe. The fund builds a diversified portfolio, selecting equities from a broad range of sectors and market capitalization sizes. Its investment approach prioritizes identifying companies with 'Growth At A Reasonable Price' (GARP). This is achieved through thorough fundamental analysis, combining both top-down macroscopic views and bottom-up company-specific research, with significant emphasis placed on aspects like growth prospects, market liquidity, currency effects, the quality of management, and valuation. The fund's performance is benchmarked against a specially adapted version of the FTSE Greater Eastern Europe with Turkey Index, where the market capitalization weightings for Russia and Turkey are specifically limited to 50% and 15% respectively.
