- Baron Emerging Markets Select ETF (BCEM) is an active exchange-traded fund managed by Baron Capital that concentrates on growth-oriented, emerging market companies. The fund seeks to deliver long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of established and growth-oriented companies domiciled, headquartered, or principally active in developing markets, with a smaller allocation to developed and frontier markets as defined by industry indices. BCEM employs a bottom-up, fundamental research approach to identify businesses with durable competitive advantages, strong management, and compelling valuations, while maintaining a relatively concentrated portfolio to emphasize high-conviction holdings.
