- Knowledge Leaders Developed World ETF (KLDW) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results corresponding to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Knowledge Leaders Developed World Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the underlying index, which measures the equity market performance of developed market companies exhibiting high levels of sustainable investments in innovation, intangible assets, and knowledge capital; it employs a proprietary methodology to score global companies based on their knowledge leadership traits, including research and development spending, capital expenditures, selling and administrative expenses as proxies for innovation and human capital, and other factors. KLDW offers investors exposure to large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks across multiple sectors such as technology, healthcare, consumer discretionary, industrials, and financials, with a focus on companies demonstrating superior balance sheets and economic profitability. The ETF is managed by Knowledge Leaders Global Investments, LLC and is headquartered in the United States; it was launched in 2020. Geographically, it targets developed markets including the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia, and other regions comprising the index's approximately 200 holdings. In recent developments, the fund has seen expanded assets under management amid growing investor interest in knowledge-based investing strategies post-2024 market rallies, alongside minor index reconstitutions in 2025 to reflect updated company innovation scores.
