Our read on NTSE

ETF.net Research

In short

CEmerging-markets stocks with a Treasury chaser. NTSE holds 90% EM equities and layers a 60% laddered US Treasury futures overlay on top, so a dollar of fund buys about $1.50 of market exposure. WisdomTree's Efficient Core playbook, pointed at EM.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks total return through emerging-markets equity securities and U.S. Treasury futures. It is actively managed with a models-based process.

Why people hold it

  • The 90/60 build is the whole idea: about 90% of assets in EM stocks, the rest as collateral for laddered Treasury futures (2 to 30 year maturities, 3 to 8 year target duration). Bonds without selling stocks.sec.govsaytechnologies.com
  • Charges 0.32% a year, under the typical fund in its emerging-markets peer group, despite being actively managed with a models-based process rather than a plain index tracker.sec.gov
  • Broad underneath the overlay: roughly 400 EM stocks spanning every major sector, with rebalancing back toward the 90/60 target when either sleeve drifts by 5% or more. Pays quarterly.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  • Leverage works both directions. Roughly 150% total exposure means selloffs land harder than in plain EM beta, and you carry US interest-rate risk alongside emerging-markets equity risk.sec.gov
  • Straight EM index exposure costs less: VEXC at 0.07% and BKEM at 0.11% skip the futures overlay entirely. You are paying up for the structure, not the stocks.
  • Thinly traded next to the category's household names, and one of the smaller funds in its group, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the headline expense ratio suggests.

NTSE Risk

Risk pillarC40 out of 100Rank 13 of 18 in Capital-Efficient Allocation

This fund targets a multiple of the daily move of its index and resets daily. Hold it longer than one reset and compounding makes the return diverge from that target. In choppy markets it can lose value even when the index ends flat.

How much the fund’s monthly returns vary, scaled to a year.
17.7%
Annualised · 36 months to Oct 2026
How it’s calculated: standard deviation

The sample standard deviation of monthly total returns, multiplied by the square root of 12.

Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Total returns include reinvested distributions.

Return above 3-month US Treasury bills per unit of volatility.

How it’s calculated: Sharpe ratio

Subtract each month’s Treasury-bill return from the fund’s monthly total return.

Divide the average of those excess returns by their sample standard deviation, then multiply by the square root of 12.

Uses up to 36 complete months, with at least 12 required. Each month uses the Treasury yield quoted at the end of the previous month.
