- abrdn International Small Cap Active ETF (ASCI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small non-U.S. companies, defined as those with market capitalizations similar to companies in the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Small Cap Index at the time of purchase. The fund employs a quality, growth, and momentum investment approach to select stocks exhibiting high-quality characteristics, sustainable multiyear growth potential, and upward momentum, with a portfolio typically comprising around 39 holdings across sectors such as industrials (31.2%), financials (15.2%), and consumer discretionary (12.3%), and key country exposures including Japan (20.4%), the United Kingdom (17.0%), and Germany (8.8%). It offers annual distributions, a net expense ratio of 0.70%, and benchmarks performance against the MSCI AC World ex USA Small Cap Index (Net TR), serving investors targeting foreign small-cap growth opportunities outside the U.S. Launched as an ETF following the acquisition of assets and liabilities from its predecessor mutual fund, the abrdn International Small Cap Fund, on October 17, 2025, ASCI adopted the predecessor's accounting and performance history dating back to September 30, 1996, enabling continuity in long-term track record while transitioning to the ETF structure. This conversion forms part of abrdn Investments' broader expansion of its U.S. active ETF platform, which also included the launch of the abrdn Ultra Short Municipal Income Active ETF (AMUN), mergers such as abrdn China A Share Equity Fund and abrdn Focused Emerging Markets ex-China Fund into the abrdn Emerging Markets Dividend Active ETF (AGEM), and earlier 2025 introductions like the Focused US Small Cap Active ETF (AFSC), pushing the platform's assets under management past $18 billion. These strategic shifts underscore abrdn's commitment to delivering cost-efficient, transparent active ETF solutions amid growing demand for thematic and specialized equity strategies. abrdn International Small Cap Active ETF operates under abrdn Investments, the investment solutions arm of abrdn plc, a global asset manager founded in 1825 and headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, with key U.S. operations in Philadelphia. The fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to developed and emerging international small-cap equities, with geographic focus on regions including Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, excluding the United States. Managed by portfolio managers Kirsty Desson and Liam Patel, it is distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc., and trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ASCI (CUSIP: 003022266).
