BNY Mellon Sustainable Global Emerging Markets ETF (BKEM) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results corresponding to the performance of the BNY Mellon Sustainable Emerging Markets Equity Index. The ETF invests primarily in equity securities of companies in emerging market countries that meet specific sustainability criteria, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors; it employs a passive management strategy tracking the index, which emphasizes companies with low carbon exposure, strong labor practices, and effective corporate governance. Holdings span sectors such as information technology, financials, consumer discretionary, communication services, and materials; key exposures include large-cap leaders like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., and Tencent Holdings Ltd., with geographic focus on Asia (Taiwan, India, China), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico), and other emerging regions like South Africa and South Korea. Launched in 2020 and domiciled in the United States, the ETF is issued and managed by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation headquartered in New York. In recent developments, the ETF underwent a ticker symbol change from BKEM to BKES in late 2024 to align with BNY Mellon's rebranding efforts and enhanced product lineup; it also benefited from BNY Mellon's strategic expansion into sustainable investing, including a 2025 partnership with BlackRock to integrate advanced ESG data analytics for improved index methodology and risk-adjusted returns in emerging markets. The fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking ESG-aligned exposure to high-growth emerging economies, with assets under management exceeding $100 million as of mid-2025.
