- GMO Beyond China ETF (NYSE Arca: BCHI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks total return by investing primarily in equities of emerging market companies, excluding those domiciled in or tied to China, positioned to benefit from global supply chain diversification trends driven by rising labor costs, geopolitical tensions, and nearshoring initiatives. The fund employs a proprietary three-step investment process encompassing top-down country selection based on demographics, cost competitiveness, infrastructure, macroeconomics, trade momentum, and valuations; sector and theme identification targeting beneficiaries such as industrial real estate, technology services, consumer sectors, nearshoring, market share gains, and the global capex boom; and bottom-up stock selection applying GMO's value discipline to identify high-quality companies at reasonable valuations, resulting in a portfolio of up to approximately 100 stocks from countries including India, Mexico, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia. Key holdings as of recent data include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Delta Electronics Inc., PT Bank Central Asia Tbk, and ICICI Bank Ltd., with significant sector allocations to technology, financial services, industrials, and consumer cyclical; the fund features a management fee of 0.65% and is part of GMO's expanding ETF lineup that also includes GMO U.S. Quality (QLTY), GMO International Quality (QLTI), GMO U.S. Value (GMOV), and GMO International Value (GMOI). Launched on February 12, 2025, and listed the following day, BCHI represents GMO's strategic expansion into ETFs capitalizing on secular supply chain shifts, supported by the Goldman Sachs ETF Accelerator platform for efficient launch and management. GMO, the fund's adviser established in 1977 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with additional offices in London, Sydney, Amsterdam, Singapore, and Tokyo, manages approximately $65 billion in assets as of December 31, 2024, and targets sophisticated institutions, financial intermediaries, and families through its valuation-oriented, long-term investment philosophy.
