About this ETF
EMSC offers investors focused equity exposure to dynamic, smaller enterprises operating in developing economies, specifically targeting those believed to be undervalued or under-owned. Its investment methodology prioritizes companies demonstrating sustainable earnings expansion alongside attractive valuations. The fund manager strategically exploits market inefficiencies prevalent in small-cap emerging markets, often arising from investor biases, information asymmetries, and access limitations. The robust investment process combines a proprietary quantitative model, which systematically ranks approximately 4,500 small-cap firms based on earnings growth potential, valuation metrics, and earnings surprise likelihood, with in-depth fundamental analysis of top-ranked companies, including direct engagement with management. This approach delivers diversified investment exposure across various sectors and countries, along with access to specific local growth themes. As a very actively managed ETF, its portfolio can experience an annual turnover rate exceeding 100%.
