iShares Emerging Markets Equity Factor ETF

iShares Emerging Markets Equity Factor ETF (EMGF) is an exchange-traded fund that aims to provide investors with targeted exposure to emerging-market equities using a factor-based, rules‑driven approach. Rather than tracking a broad-cap index, the ETF selects and weights stocks to emphasise specific factors (such as value, quality or momentum) that historically have offered higher long-term returns in different market environments. As an ETF it trades on an exchange like a stock and can offer diversified country and sector exposure within emerging markets at potentially lower cost than buying many individual shares. Investors should understand that factor strategies can underperform conventional indexes for extended periods and that emerging markets carry heightened volatility, political and currency risks. This summary is educational only and not investment advice; investors should consider suitability, fees, taxation and their risk tolerance before investing, and remember that values can fall as well as rise.
