Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

🎯 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.

✨ Key Features

Provides exposure to emerging market equities with a focus on ESG factors
Aims to outperform the broader emerging markets index by tilting towards companies with stronger ESG profiles
Utilizes MSCI's ESG ratings to determine index constituents and weightings
Relatively low expense ratio compared to many other ESG-focused funds

⚠️ Primary Risks

Emerging markets risk, including higher volatility and liquidity concerns
Potential underperformance compared to the broader emerging markets index if ESG-focused stocks underperform
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

👤 Best For

This ETF may be suitable for investors seeking exposure to emerging market equities with a focus on environmental, social, and governance factors. It could be a component of a diversified portfolio for investors with a medium to long-term investment horizon and a moderate risk tolerance.
