Our read on XCNY
CEmerging markets with China removed, and unusually, small caps left in. XCNY tracks an S&P broad-market index of roughly 1,200 large, mid and small-cap companies across emerging economies, none of them China-domiciled.
The fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the price and yield performance of the S&P Emerging Ex-China BMI.
Why people hold it
- The index reaches down to small caps, roughly 1,200 names. Most ex-China rivals track MSCI indexes that stop at large and mid caps, about 85% of each country's float.ssga.commsci.com
- It does exactly what the label says: a market-cap-weighted S&P index of emerging market companies, with China-domiciled companies excluded by rule, not by manager discretion.ssga.com
- At 0.19%, the fee sits right at the median for broad emerging-market funds, and you get State Street's indexing desk behind it.
Worth knowing
- You pay up for the China screen. Sister fund SPEM charges 0.07% and VWO 0.06% for emerging markets with China left in.
- One of the thinner-traded funds in its category. Wide-ish spreads are part of the deal, and the asset base is small for a fund this broad.
- Launched in September 2024, so the tracking and trading record is still short compared with the decades-old EM funds it sits beside.
