Our read on EMCR
AA carbon-tilted way to own emerging markets wholesale: roughly 1,400 stocks screened for climate commitments, at 0.15% a year when the typical EM fund in its group charges more than triple that.
The fund seeks to track the performance of the Solactive ISS Emerging Markets Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers Index NTR before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.15% a year against a 0.49% median for its emerging-market peer group, one of the cheapest tickets in the category.
- Roughly 1,400 names spread across emerging markets, so no single stock or country call carries the portfolio.
- The mandate is explicit: passive tracking of the Solactive ISS EM Carbon Reduction & Climate Improvers index, with the climate and ESG rules written into the prospectus.
- Undercuts the cohort's better-known tilts on fee: FNDE at 0.39% and XSOE at 0.32%, with EMCR priced under both.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the headline fee suggests.
- The screen reweights the book away from a plain EM index, so its sector and country mix departs from the standard benchmark.
- Pays on an annual or semiannual schedule, not monthly.
