ETF.net Research

JEMAAJPMorgan ActiveBuilders Emerging Markets Equity ETF

MEMAFMan Active Emerging Markets Alternative ETF

In short

JEMA Active emerging-markets management priced like an index fund: J.P. Morgan blends its own country, region and style EM strategies into one roughly 500-stock portfolio built to keep the MSCI EM index's sector and country risk shape.

MEMA No data

Stated mandate

JEMA Seeks long-term capital appreciation through a portfolio of emerging-market equities.

MEMA No data

Why people hold it

  • JEMA 0.33% a year, about half the 0.65% median for active EM funds and level with the cheapest names in the group (AVEM, AVXC, AVSE).
  • Not one manager's hunch: the portfolio stitches together a range of J.P. Morgan's actively managed EM strategies across countries, regions and styles.sec.gov
  • Active tilts, benchmark shape. It overweights and underweights countries and sectors versus the MSCI EM index while aiming to hold similar sector and geographic risk.sec.gov
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that stands among the strongest implementations in the active EM group on cost and structure.

MEMA No data

Worth knowing

  • JEMA Active means results ride on the adviser's calls, and the fund has only been trading since 2021, a short record for an EM strategy.sec.gov
  • Full-market EM exposure runs hot: volatility screens as the softer part of the picture next to peers, the trade-off for staying in the whole asset class.
  • Moderately traded rather than a tape giant, and cash comes back once or twice a year, not monthly.
