This ETF tracks an underlying index that utilizes a systematic, equally-weighted methodology to select companies from the broader S&P Emerging Plus LargeMidCap Index. The selection criteria prioritize firms that demonstrate both attractive dividend yields and a track record of reliable distributions, while concurrently ensuring broad sector diversification. A core tenet of the fund's strategy is to invest a minimum of 80% of its net assets in equity securities that are economically linked to Emerging Markets nations and have successfully paid a positive annual dividend in the prior year.
