Emerging market investing has long been dominated by China's outsized role. The country once accounted for roughly 30%-40% of many EM indexes.
JPMorgan Chase anticipates that despite potential market disruptions from the upcoming U.S. presidential election and heightened tensions in the Middle East, bond issuance in the emerging markets of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA, Financial) is projected to reach a historic peak this year. Currently, EMEA's emerging market bond issuance has reached $253 billion for 2024.

The fund operates as an actively managed Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) with the goal of meeting its investment objectives through strategic allocations. It is guided by an Adviser with the support of a Sub-Adviser, specializing in specific investment strategies tailored to the fund's goals. The primary focus of the fund is to invest a significant portion of its assets into equity securities associated with emerging markets. This includes investing in companies based in these markets or those that have substantial economic ties to them. By doing so, the fund aims to tap into the potential growth opportunities that emerging markets offer, leveraging the expertise of its advisory teams to navigate the complexities of these investment landscapes.
This product is at the heart of the fund's offering. As an actively managed ETF, it diverges from the traditional passive investment strategy by employing fund managers to make investment choices on behalf of its shareholders. The goal is to outperform the market or a specific benchmark index through active management. This entails continuous monitoring and analysis of the investment landscape to make timely decisions related to buying, holding, and selling assets within the fund's portfolio.
The fund specifically targets equity securities of issuers in emerging markets and those economically tied to these regions. Emerging markets are defined by their potential for rapid growth and development, which can translate into lucrative investment opportunities. By dedicating at least 80% of its net assets towards such investments, the fund seeks to leverage the dynamic economic activities in these areas. The investment in emerging markets involves a higher degree of risk due to potential political, economic, and currency instability; however, it also offers the promise of higher returns compared to developed markets. This component of the fund’s strategy is geared towards investors looking for growth opportunities and who are comfortable with a greater risk-reward ratio.
