EEMA provides representative coverage of the emerging Asia equity market. Investors should note that this plain-vanilla fund includes Korea and Taiwan in its index, unlike some other funds that also target emerging Asia. In addition, the fund also tends to have a large-cap tilt. Notably, EEMA uses representative sampling indexing, instead of replicating the index. The index applies a custom-capped market-cap-weighting scheme and is rebalanced on a quarterly basis. Note: Prior to June 1, 2018 the fund tracked the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index.
