Our read on KEMQ

ETF.net Research

In short

DLaunched in 2017 as an emerging-markets internet index fund, KEMQ was rebuilt in August 2026 into a public-private hybrid: it now seeks growth of capital and intends to put roughly 10% of net assets into privately offered EM tech alongside listed names.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Solactive Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index.

Why people hold it

  • Rare wrapper: the fund intends to invest about 10% of net assets in privately offered securities at the time of purchase, a listed route into pre-IPO emerging markets tech.kraneshares.com
  • Spread by design: at least 80% tracks the Solactive EM Technology Index, which caps any one name at 3% and any one country at 40% at rebalance, across 26 eligible countries.kraneshares.comkraneshares.com 2
  • Not a brand-new launch: the public-private mandate was layered onto a fund trading since 2017, holding roughly 60 positions in e-commerce, fintech and chip names.kraneshares.com

Worth knowing

  • Costs 0.49% net of a waiver through August 1, 2028, against a 0.79% gross fee, above the category median; the waived slice returns if that waiver lapses.
  • A small fund that trades lightly, so bid-ask spreads and premium-to-discount swings matter more here than in a mega-cap index ETF.
  • The 40% country cap cuts both ways: one emerging market can drive much of the result. Payouts land once or twice a year, not monthly.kraneshares.com
