BGEGDBaillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF

FFEMAFidelity Fundamental Emerging Markets ETF

In short

BGEG Edinburgh's patient growth house put its emerging markets strategy into an ETF wrapper in 2026: a concentrated book of high-conviction names, frontier markets in scope, stock-picked rather than copied from the MSCI index.

FFEM No data

Stated mandate

BGEG The Fund seeks capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities issued by companies in emerging and frontier markets. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in equity securities of companies from countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

FFEM No data

Why people hold it

  • BGEG Genuinely active: a 60 to 100 stock portfolio across emerging and frontier markets, with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index as a starting universe rather than a blueprint.bailliegifford.com
  • The mandate reaches past the MSCI EM roster into frontier markets, while keeping at least 80% of net assets in companies from index countries.sec.gov
  • At 0.79%, the fee sits right at the median of its active emerging markets growth peer group. No brand premium attached.
  • The manager is an independent partnership founded in 1908 that has run emerging markets money since 1994, and says it intends low turnover here.bailliegifford.combusinesswire.combailliegifford.com 2

FFEM No data

Worth knowing

  • BGEG A June 2026 launch with modest assets and light trading so far: little history to judge, and spreads can run wider than in the giant index EM funds.
  • Roughly 70 growth names means results can diverge sharply from the MSCI EM index in either direction, and the objective is capital appreciation, not income.
  • Cheaper active options share the shelf, including FFEM at 0.60% and CGNG at 0.64%, both drawing on longer-running research teams.
