Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

EFFECHarbor Osmosis Emerging Markets Resource Efficient ETF

EMXFAiShares ESG Advanced MSCI EM ETF

In short

EFFE No data

EMXF The strict end of ESG in emerging markets. EMXF follows an index that demands stronger ESG ratings, screens out a long list of controversial businesses, and caps any single issuer at 5% so no one giant runs the show.

Stated mandate

EFFE No data

EMXF The fund is designed to follow an emerging-market equity index that emphasizes stronger ESG ratings and applies extensive screens to controversial business activities.

Why people hold it

EFFE No data

  • EMXF The "Advanced" label means deep screening: an index built on stronger ESG ratings plus extensive exclusions for controversial business activities, not one or two token cuts.ishares.com
  • The index caps each issuer at 5%, which matters in emerging markets, where plain cap-weighted portfolios lean hard on a few chip and tech behemoths.ishares.com
  • 0.16% a year is modest for a heavily screened fund, and it sits below the typical expense ratio in its emerging-markets peer group.
  • Roughly 600 large and mid caps across emerging markets: the screens trim the field without collapsing it into a concentrated handful of names.

Worth knowing

EFFE No data

  • EMXF Unscreened emerging-markets trackers such as VWO and SCHE run at a fraction of this expense ratio. The screening is what you are paying for.
  • A smaller, thinly traded fund. Spreads can widen, so the price on screen and the price you get are not always the same thing.
  • Cutting whole slices of the emerging-markets universe means this portfolio can look and behave quite differently from a standard EM index, in either direction.
