Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
This equity fund launched this week. William Blair has an emerging markets fund (WBEIX) which has been hit hard in 2021 by its China allocation. I guess WB has a strong conviction in their China thesis that they pushed forward with a dedicated China fund.
ER is only 1.05% for I class shares. Proof of conviction may be evidenced by how much the managers invest in the fund right out of the gate. The website has not populated much info, not even daily price changes.
M* indicates no investment from managers. The fund launched with $2M AUM and currently has $2.7M AUM. The M* chart since inception looks acceptable performance for this fund.
