About this ETF
The fund's objective is to build a wide-ranging and diversified portfolio of securities from developing nations, which may encompass frontier markets—emerging economies in their nascent stages of growth. As a non-core investment guideline, the portfolio ordinarily commits at least 80% of its net capital to equities within emerging markets, specifically those identified as 'Approved Market securities' in its official prospectus.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
