Our read on OAEM

ETF.net Research

In short

FMost emerging-markets ESG funds are index trackers with a screen bolted on. OAEM goes the other way: an actively managed, concentrated portfolio shaped by OneAscent's faith-based Elevate screen, at a 1.25% net expense ratio.

Stated mandate

The fund's stated objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • Active, not an index with a filter. The team runs fundamental analysis down to a concentrated book of emerging-market companies rather than reweighting a standard EM benchmark.oneascent.com
  • The values screen is the product, not a layer: OneAscent's Elevate process weighs business model, stakeholder policies and community impact, and only names that clear it get bought.oneascent.com
  • A faith-based brief, narrower than the broad ESG and climate screens the category's index names run (EMXF 0.16%, ESGE 0.25%, EMCS 0.15%, none with a fee waiver in effect).oneascent.com
  • Running since 2022 inside a standard 1940 Act ETF wrapper, one of five values-aligned ETFs from a single-focus Birmingham, Alabama shop.oneascent.com

Worth knowing

  • Cost is the trade-off: 1.25% net (1.22% gross, no waiver in effect) sits above the median of the 12 funds in its category, where index rivals like EMCS charge 0.15%.
  • Thinly traded with a modest asset base, so trading costs can run wider than at the category's index heavyweights.
  • No index to hug. A concentrated active portfolio can diverge sharply from broad emerging-markets benchmarks, in either direction, and distributions land once or twice a year.oneascent.com
