The fund tracks an index that provides comprehensive, vanilla exposure to emerging market equities. The index may include large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks. South Korea is not counted as an emerging market, which may be different from how some competitors define the space. The index may also invest in China A-shares. Constituents are selected and weighted for the index to ensure the holdings are investable, which should allow for the fund to track the performance return using a replication strategy. Index components are reviewed semi-annually in March and September.
