POSITIVE IMPACT
EMF's Board has pledged to repurchase shares when the discount to NAV exceeds -10%, which may support the fund's share price and narrow the discount.
The commitment to share repurchases by EMF's Board is likely to be viewed positively by investors as it shows confidence in the fund's value and provides a mechanism to support the share price during times when the discount to NAV is significant.
