Thornburg Emerging Markets ADR SMA

Strategy Overview
The investment strategy aims to give investors full exposure to the potential returns of emerging market stocks. It does this by investing in a combination of two components: a completion fund1 focused on emerging markets, managed by Thornburg, and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of emerging market companies. The completion fund provides access to emerging market securities that tend to be difficult to access through ADRs alone. Using this two-pronged approach allows the strategy to offer the customization and tax benefits of a separately managed account for the directly held ADRs, while also widening the range of emerging market securities available for investment through the completion fund portion. Important Update: Effective 1 April 2025, the Thornburg Emerging Markets ADR Completion Strategy name has been changed to the Thornburg Emerging Markets ADR Strategy.
