🎯 Investment Strategy
The fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Extended ESG Focus Index, which is designed to provide exposure to companies with high ESG ratings relative to their sector peers. The index uses MSCI's ESG ratings to tilt towards companies with higher ESG scores and away from those with lower scores.

⚠️ Primary Risks
- Emerging markets risk, including higher volatility and liquidity concerns

- Concentration risk as the fund is not fully diversified across all emerging market sectors
- Reliance on third-party ESG ratings, which may not fully capture a company's sustainability profile
