- iShares Emerging Markets Equity Factor ETF (EMGF) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of the STOXX Emerging Markets Equity Factor Index, which comprises large- and mid-capitalization companies in emerging markets exhibiting favorable exposure to target style factors including value, quality, momentum, and low size, subject to constraints that maintain a level of risk similar to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in component securities of the underlying index or in investments with substantially identical economic characteristics; its portfolio features approximately 569 to 613 holdings, with top allocations to companies such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (10.84%), Tencent Holdings Ltd., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., providing diversified sector exposure across technology, financials, consumer discretionary, and others. EMGF operates globally with primary geographic exposure to emerging market regions including Asia (e.g., Taiwan, China, India, South Korea), Latin America, and others; it targets institutional and retail investors seeking factor-based emerging markets equity strategies. Launched on December 8, 2015 and domiciled in the United States, the ETF is issued and managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors, a subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., with headquarters in New York; as of recent data, it maintains net assets of approximately $913 million to $957 million and an expense ratio of 0.26%. In recent developments, EMGF has delivered strong performance with a one-year total return of 17.46% and inception-to-date annualized returns of 8.45%, outperforming its benchmark in certain periods amid favorable emerging markets momentum; the fund has sustained portfolio optimizations reflecting updated factor exposures and market conditions, including heightened allocations to high-conviction holdings in technology and quality sectors as of 2025. No major structural changes, such as rebranding, mergers, or new index adoptions, have been reported for the ETF in the last 1-2 years.
