The fund provides a dividend-focused take on the emerging equity market. Constituent selection starts with companies that are listed or incorporated in one of the 17 emerging market countries determined by the index provider. Size and liquidity screens are then applied, along with a dividend metric that requires each company to have paid at least US$ 5 million in gross cash dividends over the last annual cycle. Aside from dividends, the fund also looks for positive earnings over the past year. Approximately 100 largest Chinese companies (listed by dividends) that meet the funds criteria are selected for inclusion. Holdings are weighted by annual cash dividends paid, with individual country weights capped at 25% and each sector weights at 25% (except real estate sector with 15% capping). In addition, exposure to Chinese equities is capped at 5% of the portfolio. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted on an annual basis.
