Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

🎯 Investment Strategy

EMGF seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Diversified Multiple-Factor Index, which selects and weights emerging market stocks based on their exposure to the targeted factors. The fund invests primarily in the component securities of the underlying index and aims to provide exposure to emerging market equities with potentially enhanced risk-adjusted returns.

✨ Key Features

Provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of emerging market stocks with factor-based tilts
Utilizes a rules-based, multi-factor index methodology to identify attractive stocks
Aims to deliver potentially improved risk-adjusted returns compared to a broad emerging markets index
Low expense ratio of 0.00%

⚠️ Primary Risks

Emerging markets risk: Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, market timings, and less-developed legal/accounting systems
Factor investing risk: Factor-based strategies may underperform the broader market during certain market conditions
Currency risk: Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect performance
Liquidity risk: The fund may have difficulty trading certain illiquid emerging market securities

👤 Best For

EMGF may be suitable for investors seeking broad exposure to emerging market equities with the potential for improved risk-adjusted returns through factor-based investing. Given the higher volatility and risks associated with emerging markets, this fund is best suited for investors with a longer-term investment horizon and a moderate to high risk tolerance.
