Man Systematic Emerging Markets

The Portfolio’s objective is to earn a return on investment greater than the returns available from investments in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Portfolio will seek to achieve its objective by using Numeric’s proprietary quantitative models to select securities for purchase or sale in order to allocate all or substantially all of its assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s strategy. The strategy involves taking long positions in relation to issuers primarily in emerging markets throughout the world, that represent, in the judgment of Numeric, an opportunity for short-term investment gains.
