https://oci-global.com

The iShares Edge MSCI EM Value Factor UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Select Value Factor Focus Index. This index comprises large- and mid-capitalization stocks from emerging markets exhibiting high value characteristics, such as low price relative to estimated future earnings, book value, and cash flows. Launched on December 6, 2018, and domiciled in Ireland, the ETF employs a physical replication method with an accumulating share class, reinvesting dividends to compound returns. It features a total expense ratio of 0.40% and manages net assets around $905 million USD, providing diversified exposure across approximately 172 holdings in sectors prevalent in emerging economies like financials, materials, and energy. As a UCITS-compliant product managed by BlackRock, it targets investors seeking value-oriented strategies in volatile emerging markets, where stocks are selected for undervaluation potential amid economic growth and currency dynamics. The ETF plays a key role in factor-based investing, enabling access to emerging market value premiums without direct stock picking.
