Profile

https://oci-global.com

Amundi MSCI EM Asia UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with targeted exposure to emerging markets equities in Asia. It closely tracks the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index, a benchmark comprising large- and mid-cap companies across diversified sectors in key Asian emerging economies such as China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, and others. Launched in 2011 and domiciled in Luxembourg, the ETF employs a synthetic replication strategy using total return swaps to mirror the index's net total return performance, which includes reinvested dividends net of tax. As an accumulating fund, it automatically reinvests dividends, enhancing long-term compounding without distributions to shareholders. With a low total expense ratio of 0.20% per annum, it offers cost-efficient access to this dynamic region, characterized by rapid economic growth and increasing global trade integration. The fund maintains a currency-unhedged approach in both EUR and USD share classes, exposing investors to underlying market and foreign exchange fluctuations. Managed by Amundi Index Solutions, it plays a vital role in portfolio diversification, enabling broad participation in Asia's emerging equity opportunity set while adhering to UCITS regulations for investor protection.
