Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF
This ETF is designed to invest in equities of companies situated in developing economies worldwide, including notable markets such as China, Brazil, Taiwan, and South Africa. Its primary objective is to closely mirror the performance of the FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap China A Inclusion Index. While this investment offers significant potential for capital appreciation, it also entails considerable risk; its market value can experience greater fluctuations compared to equity funds that focus on more established economies, like the United States. Consequently, it is best suited for investors with a long-term investment horizon. To ensure diversification, and pertaining to 75% of its total assets, the fund typically refrains from purchasing more than 10% of an issuer's voting shares or dedicating over 5% of its total assets to any single issuer's securities. An exception to these guidelines is permitted if required to align with the composition of its target index. Furthermore, these concentration restrictions do not extend to obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies.
