About AFK
The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund’s benchmark index. For purposes of this policy, the term “assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The Africa Index includes securities of African companies. African companies generally include local listings of companies that are incorporated in Africa and listings of companies incorporated outside of Africa but that have at least 50% of their revenues/related assets in Africa. Such companies may include small- and medium-capitalization companies. Subject to country and issuer limitations, the country weightings in the Africa Index are based on their relative gross domestic product (“GDP”) weights as compared to all other countries represented in the Africa Index. As of December 31, 2025, the Africa Index included 65 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $1.01 billion and $76.07 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $18.90 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Africa Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Africa Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the Africa Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the Africa Index. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Africa Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2025, each of the financials, basic materials and communication services sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund.
