History
Originally launched as Fleming Emerging Markets Investment Trust by Robert Fleming & Co. in 1991, the trust came under the management of Chase Manhattan following its acquisition of Robert Fleming & Co. in April 2000. After Chase Manhattan merged with J.P. Morgan & Co. in December 2000, oversight shifted to J.P. Morgan & Co. The trust was renamed JP Morgan Fleming Emerging Markets Investment Trust in 2002, and upon JPMorgan's discontinuation of the Fleming brand, it received its present name in 2005.
