- VictoryShares Emerging Market Volatility Weighted ETF (CEZ) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq Victory Emerging Market 500 Volatility Weighted Index before fees and expenses, providing investors with exposure to approximately 500 emerging market stocks selected for consistent positive earnings and weighted inversely by their volatility over the prior 180 trading days. The ETF focuses on large-cap emerging market equities across sectors including financials, materials, energy, information technology, and consumer staples; it reconstitutes semi-annually in March and September to maintain its risk-adjusted portfolio composition. Launched on March 23, 2016, by Victory Capital Management Inc., headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, CEZ operates primarily in U.S. markets while targeting companies domiciled in emerging economies such as China, Taiwan, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia. The fund holds a diversified portfolio of up to 500 stocks ranked by market capitalization among those demonstrating positive net earnings over the last twelve months, with volatility weighting designed to reduce concentration risk compared to traditional market-cap approaches; as of recent data, it lists on NASDAQ under ticker CEZ with a gross expense ratio of 0.50%. Victory Capital Management, the ETF's adviser and a diversified global asset manager with over $293 billion in client assets as of May 2025, issues CEZ as part of its broader VictoryShares ETF suite encompassing rules-based, factor-based, active equity, fixed income, and alternative strategies. Target investors include institutions, financial advisors, and individuals seeking broad emerging market equity exposure with lower volatility emphasis relative to cap-weighted benchmarks like the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. In recent developments, Victory Capital expanded its VictoryShares offerings with multiple ETF launches in 2024 and 2025, including active strategies such as VictoryShares WestEnd Global Equity ETF (GLOW) and VictoryShares WestEnd Economic Cycle Bond ETF (BMDL) in June 2024, followed by VictoryShares Pioneer Asset-Based Income ETF (ABI), VictoryShares International Free Cash Flow ETF (IFLO), and VictoryShares International Free Cash Flow Growth ETF (GRIN) in June 2025, growing the platform to over 26 ETFs and more than $14 billion in assets under management. The firm also announced a strategic partnership with Amundi that closed in April 2025, enhancing its distribution and product capabilities across global markets. CEZ itself maintains its core methodology without reported product alterations, acquisitions, or liquidations specific to the fund as of late 2025, amid Victory Portfolios II's December 2025 notice of liquidation for certain other unrelated ETFs targeted for February 2026.
