Additional information on how this fund can help meet your clients’ needs
- An innovative, domicile-agnostic approach
The New World fund offers a flexible portfolio that targets diverse emerging market opportunities based upon a company’s derived revenue and operations, rather than listed location. The fund invests in leading emerging market companies and developed multinationals with significant emerging market revenue. - Experienced portfolio management
Take advantage of the fund’s experienced global team, driving returns with bottom-up research and emerging market expertise. Capital Group seeks to capture the best ideas and empowers portfolio managers to invest in their highest convictions. - Proven success
Through a repeatable, long-term approach focused on reducing volatility, the strategy has offered investors a combination of higher returns and lower volatility2 compared to emerging market equities3 and global equities4 since its inception in 1999.
Considering the uncertain and volatile nature of today’s markets, the New World fund may be ideal for investors looking for the broadest possible exposure to emerging market opportunities, with lower volatility.
Despite the challenges of the current market environment, the case for emerging markets remains. As 2022 unfolds, the New World fund is well positioned to benefit from:
Major trends, such as the revival in travel demand, the growth of digital platforms and the acceleration of mobile technology – all of which are spurring the prospects of emerging markets
Rapid urbanisation and rising incomes across emerging markets
Investment opportunities driving innovation in emerging markets, as well as those catering to the underserved customer segments
The fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital by investing in common stocks of companies with significant exposure to countries with developing economies and/or markets. Many of these countries may be referred to as emerging countries or emerging markets. The fund may also invest in debt securities of issuers with exposure to these countries.
Building a diversified and flexible portfolio managed by a global team of experienced investment analysts, the New World fund is designed for investors who want to capture emerging market growth opportunities, with lower volatility.
Our 35+ year track record of investing in emerging markets, an experienced team of portfolio managers and analysts, and on-the-ground presence, allow us to uncover key investment opportunities in rapidly growing regions.
Taking the long view
We base our investment decisions on a long-term perspective, aligning our goals with the interests of your clients. Superior, long-term returns are our goal. The New World investment team are rewarded for their results, not the level of assets they manage.
Breadth of experience
Our process enables individual investment professionals to act on their highest convictions while limiting the risk associated with isolated decision-making. We draw on their experience to build the portfolio.
Deep, fundamental research
The scale and scope of our proprietary research, built over 90 years, allows us to uncover what we believe to be compelling investment opportunities for our clients*. Investment analysts conduct thousands of research visits globally every year. This research is then combined with comprehensive macro analysis. This approach has been essential to the results we have delivered to our investors.
*Capital Group manages equity assets through three investment groups. These groups make investment and proxy voting decisions independently. Fixed income investment professionals provide fixed income research and investment management across the Capital organisation; however, for securities with equity characteristics, they act solely on behalf of one of the three equity investment groups.

Risk factors you should consider before investing:
- This material is not intended to provide investment advice or be considered a personal recommendation.
- The value of investments and income from them can go down as well as up and you may lose some or all of your initial investment.
- Past results are not a guide to future results.
- If the currency in which you invest strengthens against the currency in which the underlying investments of the fund are made, the value of your investment will decrease. Currency hedging seeks to limit this, but there is no guarantee that hedging will be totally successful.
- The Prospectus – together with any locally-required offering documentation – set out risks, which, depending on the fund, may include risks associated with investing in fixed income, derivatives, emerging markets and/or high-yield securities; emerging markets are volatile and may suffer from liquidity problems.
The information in relation to the index is provided for context and illustration only. The fund is an actively managed UCITS. It is not managed in reference to a benchmark. Past results are not a guarantee of future results.
