A few observations about this fund:

• The fund modified its objective (region) on March 1, 2012. Prior to that, it was the Emerging Europe & Mediterranean Fund. (Summary Prospectus, March 1, 2012)
  
• Russia was always the 800 lb gorilla in the fund, much more so after 2012.
  
• There were two major swoons in performance: 2008 when Russia invaded Georgia, and 2022 when, well, we all know that. In both instances, the market plummet began months before the actual invasions (5/19/2008 vs. 8/8/2008, and 10/25/2021 vs. 2/24/2022)
  
• But for the current invasion that shut down the Russian stock market for a month, the fund would have been (slightly) profitable in its current incarnation (since March 2012), let alone over its full life. The fund lost 88.84% between 10/25/2021 and 3/7/2022, accounting for more than its total loss of 81.09% since the end of February 2012.

Some more data:
The fund had 67.4% of its assets in Russia as of 10/31/2021, and lost 58.5% in Feb 2022 alone.

Back in Oct. 2008 when the fund was still investing in the Mediterranean, 16% of its holdings were in Egypt while 60% of its holdings were in Russia. Stocks in each of those countries fell around 60% between April and October 2008.
2008 Annual Report
Since March 2012, TREMX had a 94% coefficient of correlation with LETRX (proxy for Russia).
Portfolio Visualizer correlations
Prior to March 2012, TREMX had "just" an 88% correlation with LETRX. Its correlation with NEWFX (a broad based EM fund) was slightly higher at 90%. Though TREMX still had volatility resembling Russia's.

Under normal conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities issued by large-cap U.S. companies. The fund expects to invest predominantly in the common stocks of companies that appear to be undervalued by various measures.
The fund defines a large-cap company as one whose market capitalization falls within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000® Index. As of December 31, 2022, the market capitalization range for the Russell 1000® Index was approximately $0.65 to $2,066.94 billon.

I believe, @Observant1, that I bought the Investor shares of the same fund that you mention.

Yes - same fund but different share class.
As Mona mentioned, SIVLX is available at Vanguard where I have an account.
It has a $25K minimum initial investment.
I believe SFVLX has a $2500 minimum initial investment.

SFVLX can be purchased with a minimum of $2,500 in a regular account and $1,000 in a retirement account directly with Seafarer. I do not see where SFVLX can be purchased through Vanguard or Schwab.

Year 2000 inception. Down for the full period by -49.47%. For the previous 1-year, to 02 Feb, it's down -80.38%. Share price at inception was typical: $10.00. Share price tonight = $2.96. Rather dismal. I suppose it's been exactly the wrong geographical area to open a new dedicated fund. Think about Hungarian nonsense with Orban. Think about the putrid leadership in Belarus, Russia. Think about the invasion of Ukraine. Moldova might be a bright spot, but there's corruption there, so I've read. But at least the leadership supports Ukraine. The Russian-led insurgency in Transnistria is like a boil on the ass of Progress, not to mention the injustice of it all. (Integrity of national borders, and all that good stuff. But that means nothing to the Poot-doink.)
Montenegro: In 2015, the investigative journalists' network OCCRP named Montenegro's long-time President and Prime Minister Milo Đukanović "Person of the Year in Organized Crime." Dreadful.
The wrong fund at the wrong time. But 23 years ago, things looked different, surely.
For convenience, here's the ticker: TREMX.

A similar check for Fidelity core/settlement m-mkt fund SPAXX with FYs 5/1-4/30,
2018 0.42%
2019 0.42%
2020 0.42%
2021 0.15%
2022 0.10%
Now 0.42%

Yes, @MikeW, $25K for the Investor class.

I checked the prospectus (download) for 5-yr history of operating expenses. For VMFXX, for FYs (9/1-8/31),
2018 0.11%
2019 0.11%
2020 0.11%
2021 0.09%
2022 0.09%
Now 0.11% (see the screen shot from today)
So, the waiver was 2 bps that doesn't seem large but can be substantial on $220+ billions ($40+ million). For VG investors, this isn't a big deal. But it may be a bigger issue for other m-mkt funds that have typical ERs of 0.35-0.50%. Those m-mkt funds were being operated at substantial losses during the ZIRP, and many were shut or merged.

I would say it is with fee waiver. If you subscribe to Apple News ($10/month), you get SOME articles which are behind the paywall including Barron’s, WSJ, and Washington Post.

But now that the Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates repeatedly, taking the federal-funds rate to 4.5% on Wednesday, Vanguard money funds have sufficiently plump yields to absorb the costs and still deliver a meaningful return to investors. For example, the Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund yields 4.3%, and the Municipal Money Market yields 1.6% tax-free.  
Vanguard hasn’t announced it was reducing the fee waivers, which arguably reflect a return to a more normal state of affairs now that rates are no longer near zero. Instead, one can see the shift in the funds’ annual reports. 

AAPL - A tech giant. Favorite target of many short sellers. WB holds a bunch.
STORY (Apple)
Some additional after market news: (Excerpted & edited for brevity)

Vanguard is beginning to remove fee-waivers/ER-caps for m-mkt funds that had been in place during the ZIRP. Investors may notice the changes as most are watching rates very closely. Affected are "...Vanguard Municipal Money Market (ticker: VMSXX), Vanguard Federal Money Market Fund (VMFXX), and Vanguard Cash Reserves Federal Money Market (VMRXX)....Vanguard hasn’t announced it was reducing the fee waivers, which arguably reflect a return to a more normal state of affairs now that rates are no longer near zero....".
Other m-mkt funds are expected to do the same.

I hit a paywall with the Barrons article. As of yesterday, the 7 day SEC yield for VMRXX was 4.31%. Is that with or without the fee waiver?

@BenWP do they have a 25k minimum in purchase of the fund ?

SIVLX has a $25,000 minimum at Schwab and Vanguard. SFVLX is not available at Schwab or Vanguard.

”Don’t think I am going out on a limb here by saying … the bulls will finally be in charge … If there is a worry, it is what wall of worry is left to climb as price action recently has usurped any and all of the walls.”

Thanks @Junkster. Wasn’t sure whether to link Streisand’s version of “Happy Days Are Here Again” or Thurber’s poignant short story ending, “Don’t count your boobies until they’re hatched.”
Bottle of bubbly will suffice I hope.
My substantive takes: (1) Defensive consumer staples are getting hit hard today - and rarely are things all black or all white. (2) The Dollar has strengthened considerably today - pushing down gold, silver & the miners along with most non-dollar denominated assets. (3) One thing totally missed by the talking heads (on Bloomberg anyway) is that there’s been the ”appearance” of progress on the debt funding issue after Biden & McCarthy met yesterday.

Thanks @yogibb for the update - quite a reversal on treasury yield on both long and short durations. Perhaps this reflects the inflation has finally slowed and the terminal 5% rate is very near. Additionally, CD yields have been treading downward since January.
