Including emerging market equities in your portfolio adds growth potential and diversification benefits. 

While Canada has strong industries like banking and resources, emerging countries offer exposure to fast-growing economies and sectors that may not be well represented in Canada. Combining these various exposures may increase growth potential while lowering overall portfolio risk. 

What is the SEI Emerging Markets Equity Fund?

The Emerging Markets Equity Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation over the long term through broad participation in a portfolio of emerging market country issuers. The Fund holds primarily equity securities in foreign issuers of emerging market countries that possess an emerging or developing economy and market as defined by the World Bank or the United Nations. The Fund utilizes a manager-of-managers investment strategy that combines multiple specialist portfolio managers, each of whom is responsible for managing a portion of the Fund in accordance with a specific mandate.
