About
This ETF primarily invests in shares of companies located in developing economies, specifically those included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. However, it reserves the right to use derivative financial instruments for a small portion of markets that are otherwise difficult to access directly. The main goal of this investment is to closely match the overall returns, encompassing both capital gains and dividends, of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. It's worth noting that the fund's market trading price may not always align exactly with its underlying net asset value. This fund adheres to a passive investment strategy.
