- CCM Global Equity ETF (CCMG), an actively managed exchange-traded fund listed on NYSE Arca, Inc., seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of global equity securities across all market capitalizations, including domestic U.S. stocks, developed international markets, emerging markets, depositary receipts such as ADRs and GDRs, and ETFs providing broad equity exposure; the fund emphasizes profitable companies with attractive valuations, strong shareholder yields, free cash flow yields, and positive price momentum, while incorporating risk management to complement financial planning. Core offerings include direct investments in U.S.-listed common and preferred stocks from approximately the largest 3,000 U.S. companies by market cap, supplemented by ETFs like Avantis U.S. Small Cap Value ETF (AVUV; 10.44%), iShares Core MSCI International Developed Markets ETF (IDEV; 9.92%), Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA; 10.14%), Avantis Emerging Markets Value ETF (AVES; 4.24%), and others for international and real estate exposure; the strategy typically allocates 50-75% to domestic equities, 20-30% to developed markets, and the remainder to emerging markets, with holdings spanning sectors such as technology (e.g., Apple, Applied Materials), healthcare (e.g., Amgen, Elevance Health), consumer staples (e.g., AT&T, Procter & Gamble), and energy (e.g., Chevron, Exxon Mobil).
