Please note that while Ashmore manages equity funds that use the MSCI Frontier Markets index as a benchmark, the firm does not necessarily subscribe to the rigid index definitions of the underlying markets. Hence, 100% of the firm's AuM is invested in Emerging Markets, as broadly defined and including 'frontier' markets.
