Emerge ETF Trust (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust that issues exchange-traded funds focused on sustainable equity strategies, advised by Emerge Capital Management LP; its Emerge EMPWR Unified Sustainable Equity ETF (EMPW) seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. and global issuers that meet proprietary environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria established by the Adviser. The Trust offers a suite of actively managed ETFs including EMPW, which targets a unified sustainable equity portfolio across market capitalizations with holdings such as Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Novartis AG; Emerge EMPWR Sustainable Select Growth Equity ETF (EMGC), emphasizing large-growth sustainable issuers; and others like the Sustainable Dividend Equity ETF and Sustainable Global Core Equity ETF, all emphasizing ESG-compliant dividend-paying or growth-oriented equities predominantly in U.S. and global markets. These products provide investors with exposure to sustainable investment themes, including long-term total return, current income, and capital appreciation through non-diversified portfolios managed under rigorous ESG screening.
Headquartered at c/o Emerge Capital Management LP, 325 Delaware Avenue, Suite 204, Buffalo, New York 14202, the Trust was established around 2021 as reflected in its SEC CIK registration. The Adviser, founded in 2016, specializes in empowering emerging managers and launching innovative ETF products with a focus on sustainable, diverse investment solutions for institutional and retail investors targeting U.S. wealth channels and global equities.
EMPW shares commenced trading on September 9, 2022, via Cboe BZX Exchange with unlisted trading privileges on MIAX Pearl Equities, marking the Trust's expansion into unified sustainable equity offerings amid growing demand for ESG-focused vehicles. In recent years, the Trust has navigated operational challenges in affiliated Canadian entities, such as Emerge Canada Inc.'s wind-down of certain ETFs in 2023-2024, but maintained U.S. product continuity without reported terminations or major disruptions as of late 2025. No significant funding rounds, acquisitions, or new partnerships for the Trust were announced in 2024-2025; however, its portfolio updates reflect ongoing active management, with disclosed assets under management approximating $472,000 in the latest SEC filings.
