Our read on OAEM
DA boutique, values-screened take on emerging markets in a peer group run by index giants. OneAscent applies its own Values-Based Screening rather than licensing an off-the-shelf ESG benchmark, and the 1.22% fee reflects that hands-on approach.
The fund's stated objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- The values screen sits in the fund's own mandate and SEC filings, not in a marketing deck. The cohort's better-known names mostly license a third-party MSCI ESG index instead.
- Plain plumbing: a 1940 Act equity ETF. No leverage, no derivatives overlay, no K-1 at tax time.
- Broad non-US emerging markets stocks with a stated goal of long-term capital appreciation: a whole-asset-class slot, not a single-country or single-sector bet.
Worth knowing
- At 1.22% a year, this is the expensive end of screened emerging markets. Index-based rivals such as ESGE and LDEM charge a small fraction of that, and the gap is deducted every year.
- Small and lightly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can widen and the market price can drift from net asset value.
- Cash comes back once or twice a year, not monthly or quarterly.
