Description: VWO Vanguard FTSE Emerging

The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets Index Fund ETF (NYSE ARCA: VWO) seeks to replicate the total return of the FTSE Emerging Markets All-Cap China A Inclusion Index by holding a sampled, broadly diversified basket of securities that mirrors the index’s key characteristics.

Key metrics (as of Q3 2024): ticker VWO, expense ratio 0.10 %, assets under management ≈ $85 bn, and a weighted-average market-cap of roughly $30 bn. The top five holdings are Taiwan Semiconductor (≈ 4 % of assets), Tencent (≈ 3 %), Alibaba (≈ 2.5 %), Samsung Electronics (≈ 2 %) and Johnson & Johnson (≈ 2 %). Sector exposure is dominated by information technology (≈ 22 %), financials (≈ 20 %), and consumer discretionary (≈ 15 %).

Performance drivers include: (1) the inclusion of China A-shares, which adds ~ 12 % exposure to mainland Chinese equities and has historically boosted the index’s correlation with domestic Chinese growth; (2) commodity price cycles, as emerging-market economies account for ~ 30 % of global demand for metals and energy, making the fund sensitive to shifts in global demand and supply; and (3) broader emerging-market GDP growth, which the IMF projects at 4.5 % YoY for 2024, outpacing developed-market growth and supporting earnings expansion across the portfolio.
