Our read on EMC

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost consumer-theme ETFs just follow an index. EMC hires stock pickers: a Mirae Asset team in Hong Kong choosing roughly 70 emerging-market companies tied to a rising middle class, in whatever sector that spending lands.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital growth by investing in companies linked to emerging-market consumption trends driven by the expanding purchasing power of the middle class.

Why people hold it

  • Actively managed and sub-advised by Mirae Asset's Hong Kong team, which hand-picks emerging-market names it judges best placed to capture domestic spending growth.globalxetfs.com
  • Not fenced into consumer staples and discretionary: managers can own any industry sitting in the path of rising consumption, from banks to airlines.globalxetfs.com
  • Born in 2010 as a Mirae Asset mutual fund, converted to an ETF in 2023 with the same team and process, plus daily holdings disclosure and intraday trading.globalxetfs.comsec.gov
  • Active stock picking at 0.65%, the median expense ratio in its consumer-theme peer group, where most rivals simply track a basket.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded, so spreads can run wider than in the category's heavyweights.
  • No index to hug: the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is the yardstick, not the blueprint, so results ride on the team's calls.globalxetfs.com
  • Index-based cousins in the cohort cost less, with MILN and PAWZ at 0.50%.
