William Blair Emerging Markets Small Cap Growth Fund R6 Class (WESJX)

This fund aims to achieve significant capital appreciation over the long term. Under typical market conditions, it allocates at least 80% of its net assets, including any funds borrowed for investment, to equity holdings in small-capitalization ("small-cap") companies situated in emerging markets. The portfolio is primarily constructed as a diversified collection of equity securities, such as common shares and other equity-linked investments (e.g., convertible securities), issued by these emerging market small-cap firms. The Advisor selects companies believed to possess above-average growth potential, strong profitability, and high-quality characteristics.
