Investment Approach
We focus on overlooked areas of frontier and small emerging markets. Our goal is to identify the next generation of investment ideas and secular themes based on growth potential, consumer demand and large addressable markets, yet which remain underinvested by global equity investors. Based on an integrated top-down and bottom-up process, we run a concentrated portfolio of high quality companies which we believe have the capacity to generate attractive and sustainable returns over the long-term.

Performance data quoted is based on average annualized returns and net of fees.

The source for all performance and index data is Morgan Stanley Investment Management Limited.

Performance data for funds with less than one year's track record is not shown. Performance is calculated net of fees. YTD performance data is not annualised. Performance of other share classes, when offered, may differ. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing.

The Fund is actively managed, and the management of the fund is not constrained by the composition of the Benchmark.

The use of leverage increases risks, such that a relatively small movement in the value of an investment may result in a disproportionately large movement, unfavourable as well as favourable, in the value of that investment and, in turn, the value of the Fund.

Certain documentation available on this site may pertain to multiple sub-funds of the Morgan Stanley Investment Funds range. Please note that not all sub-funds are available in all jurisdictions and sub-funds are not available to persons resident in jurisdictions where such distribution or availability would be contrary to local laws or regulations.

2 The Blended Index performance shown is calculated using the MSCI EM Europe, Middle East Gross Index from inception through 31 December 2000, the MSCI EM Europe Middle East Net Index through 16 April 2008, the MSCI Emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa Net Index through 15 May 2022 and the MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Net Index thereafter.

The MSCI EM Europe, Middle East Index captures large and mid-cap representation across 8 Emerging Markets (EM) countries in Europe and Middle East.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Europe, Middle East and Africa Net Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of the emerging market countries of Europe, the Middle East & Africa.

The MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Net Index is a free float adjusted market capitalization index designed to serve as a benchmark covering all countries from the MSCI Frontier Markets Index and the lower size spectrum of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The indexes are unmanaged and do not include any expenses, fees or sales charges. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

3 Entry Charge is a maximum possible figure. In some cases you might pay less, you can find this out from your financial adviser. Ongoing Charges reflect the payments and expenses incurred during the fund's operation and are deducted from the assets of the fund over the period. It includes fees paid for investment management (Management Fee), trustee/custodian, and administration charges. The Minimum Initial Investment/Minimum Subsequent Investment amounts may be in US Dollars (or the Euro Yen or Sterling equivalent of the US Dollar amount). For more information please see the Charges and Expenses section of the prospectus.

4 May not sum to 100% due to rounding. For additional information regarding sector classification/definitions please visit www.msci.com/gics and the glossary page. Cash & Equivalents are defined as the value of assets that can be converted into cash immediately. These include commercial paper, open FX transactions, Treasury bills and other short-term instruments.  Such instruments are considered cash equivalents because they are deemed liquid and not subject to significant risk of changes in values.

NTM = Next Twelve Months

 

WAM is the weighted average maturity of the portfolio. The WAM calculation utilizes the interest-rate reset date, rather than a security's stated final maturity, for variable- and floating- rate securities. By looking to a portfolio's interest rate reset schedule in lieu of final maturity dates, the WAM measure effectively captures a fund's exposure to interest rate movements and the potential price impact resulting from interest rate movements.

 

WAL is the weighted average life of the portfolio. The WAL calculation utilizes a security's stated final maturity date or, when relevant, the date of the next demand feature when the fund may receive payment of principal and interest (such as a put feature). Accordingly, WAL reflects how a portfolio would react to deteriorating credit (widening spreads) or tightening liquidity conditions.
