PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
THE FUND | The Wells Fargo Advantage Emerging Markets Equity Income Fund seeks to generate total return by investing in emerging markets stocks with dividend yields greater than the average for the MSCI Emerging Markets Net Index.
FUND STRATEGY
- Active fundamental investment discipline combines rigorous bottom-up and top-down analysis to provide core exposure to emerging markets.
- Seeks success in emerging markets by using quantitative and qualitative screens to find companies with strong business models, attractive growth prospects, sustainable cash flow generation, strong financial profiles, and above-average dividend yields.
- Attempts to exploit the inefficiencies in emerging markets by actively managing country and sector weights, seeking to maximize the benefits of stock selection.
RISKS |
Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This fund is exposed to regional risk and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
