PXH Profile
The FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Invesco ETF (PXH) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the performance of the FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Index. The fund is designed to provide exposure to large- and mid-cap emerging market stocks with a focus on companies that have higher value characteristics such as book value, cash flow, sales, and dividends.
The FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Index uses a rules-based methodology that selects and weights companies based on their fundamental measures of size, value, and liquidity, rather than market capitalization. This approach is intended to avoid the biases associated with market-cap weighted indexes and to provide a more diversified exposure to the emerging markets.
The PXH ETF was launched in 2007 and has more than $2 billion in assets under management. Its expense ratio is 0.50%, which is relatively low compared to other actively managed emerging market funds. The fund is also highly diversified, with holdings in a variety of sectors including financials, consumer goods, and technology.
Investors looking to gain exposure to emerging market stocks through a low-cost, diversified vehicle may consider the FTSE RAFI Emerging Markets Invesco ETF as part of their investment strategy. However, like all investments, it is important to conduct due diligence and consider factors such as the fund's historical performance, risks, and expenses before making a decision.
