History

The company was established as the Fleming Emerging Markets Investment Trust under the management of Robert Fleming & Co. in 1991. After Robert Fleming & Co. was acquired by Chase Manhattan in April 2000, and Chase Manhattan merged with J.P. Morgan & Co. in December 2000, it was brought under the management of J.P. Morgan & Co. It became the JP Morgan Fleming Emerging Markets Investment Trust in 2002 and then, following JPMorgan's decision to drop the Fleming brand, adopted its current name in 2005.
