EMSC is designed for investors seeking targeted equity exposure to smaller, growth-oriented companies located in emerging markets that appear to be under-owned. The investment process targets companies believed to offer sustainable earnings growth at attractive valuations. The adviser seeks to play on market inefficiencies driven by human bias, information limitations, and access constraints that are particularly prevalent in small-cap emerging markets. The investment process combines a proprietary quantitative model which ranks approximately 4,500 small-cap companies on earnings growth, valuation, and earnings surprise potential with fundamental analysis of top-ranked companies, including regular engagement with management teams. The strategy provides broader investment exposure at the sector and country levels, as well as access to local growth themes. The ETF is very actively managed, annual portfolio turnover may exceed 100%.
