City of London Investment Management Company Limited (CLIM) reports beneficial ownership of 3,959,215 shares of Templeton Emerging Markets Fund, representing 26.5% of the class. CLIM states it holds sole voting and sole dispositive power over these shares, and that the shares are owned directly by the City of London Funds and certain segregated accounts for which CLIM exercises discretionary authority.
CLIM describes itself as a UK investment manager and registered investment adviser that manages multiple private funds and segregated accounts. The filing notes effective informational barriers with its parent so CLIM independently exercises voting and investment power, and that one segregated account has the right to receive dividends or sale proceeds exceeding 5% of the reported shares.
Positive
Material stake disclosed: CLIM reports owning 3,959,215 shares (26.5%), a clearly stated large position.
Sole voting and dispositive power: The filing confirms CLIM has exclusive authority to vote and dispose of the reported shares.
Negative
None.
Insights
TL;DR: CLIM holds a material 26.5% stake with sole voting and dispositive power, a significant ownership position in EMF.
CLIM's disclosed holding of 3,959,215 shares represents a concentrated minority position that could meaningfully influence shareholder outcomes if voting alignments change. The filing confirms sole voting and dispositive authority, and ownership is held through multiple City of London Funds and segregated accounts. The advisory relationship and stated informational barriers to the parent reduce attribution concerns, clarifying control resides with CLIM. This is a material disclosure for investor ownership registers and governance monitoring.
TL;DR: A single registered adviser reports sole control over a large 26.5% equity position, warranting governance attention.
The filing documents CLIM's exclusive voting and disposition rights, and explicitly states the shares are held in funds and segregated accounts under CLIM's discretionary authority. The note on informational barriers to the parent entity indicates CLIM asserts independent decision-making, which is material for assessing potential attribution or concerted action. The identification that one segregated account may receive dividends or proceeds above 5% is a specific ownership detail relevant to beneficiary rights and disclosures.

Name of person filing:
This statement is being filed by City of London Investment Management Company Limited ("CLIM" or the "Reporting Person"). CLIM is a fund manager, which specializes in investing in closed-end investment companies and is a registered investment adviser under Section 203 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. CLIM is controlled by City of London Investment Group plc ("CLIG"), which is listed on the London Stock Exchange. However, in accordance with SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), effective informational barriers have been established between CLIM and CLIG such that voting and investment power over the subject securities is exercised by CLIM independently of CLIG, and, accordingly, attribution of beneficial ownership is not required between CLIM and CLIG.
CLIM is principally engaged in the business of providing investment advisory services to various public and private investment funds, including Emerging (BMI) Markets Country Fund ("BMI"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, Emerging Markets Free Fund ("CF"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, Emerging Markets Global Fund ("CG"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, Emerging Markets Investable Fund ("CI"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, Global Emerging Markets Fund ("EUREKA"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, The Emerging World Fund ("EWF"), a Dublin, Ireland-listed open-ended investment company, Emerging (Free) Markets Country Fund ("FREE"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, Emerging Markets Country Fund ("GBL"), a private investment fund organized as a Delaware business trust, and unaffiliated third-party segregated accounts over which CLIM exercises discretionary voting and investment authority (the "Segregated Accounts").
BMI, CF, CG, CI, EUREKA, EWF, FREE and GBL are collectively referred to herein as the "City of London Funds."
