Fund Details
Investment Thesis
EM returned +29% and ESGE captured it: the screen is built to track the market, not sacrifice return, and its heavy Taiwan-Korea chip weighting made it an accidental AI-supply-chain fund. ESG discipline as a tiebreaker, not a tax.
Who It's For
EM allocators with ESG mandates — or anyone wanting the EM rally with a governance screen at an index-like fee.
