About BADEX

BlackRock Advantage Emerging Markets Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on providing equity exposure to diversified emerging markets. Its primary purpose is to offer investors the potential for long-term capital appreciation while aiming to manage downside risk. The fund employs a "defensive" investment approach, concentrating on active stock selection to seek both downside protection and upside participation. It targets large-cap companies within emerging markets and is constructed to diversify risk by investing across a broad range of sectors and geographies, with major holdings often concentrated in technology firms, financial institutions, and key consumer-driven companies. As a product launched by BlackRock in 2020, the fund features a relatively high expense ratio compared to its peers and distributes annual dividends to shareholders. BlackRock Advantage Emerging Markets Fund holds a significant position in its top ten holdings, aligning with its large-cap, value-oriented strategy. Its role in the financial market is to provide access to the growth potential of developing economies, balanced by active risk management, for investors seeking diversification beyond developed-market equities.
