- Rayliant Wilshire NxtGen Emerging Markets Equity ETF (RWEM) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies in emerging markets, excluding China. The fund employs a smart beta strategy utilizing big data, quantitative models, behavioral finance insights, and local market expertise to select and weight stocks across emerging market regions such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East; it focuses on factors like quality, momentum, and value while mitigating common risks in these inefficient markets. Distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. and part of the Rayliant Quantamental ETF Series, RWEM targets institutional and retail investors seeking diversified exposure to non-China emerging equities through a systematic, quantamental approach. Launched on December 15, 2021, the ETF operates under the management of Rayliant Investment Research, an SEC-registered investment adviser with approximately $168 million in assets under management as of April 2025, primarily in investment companies. Rayliant Investment Research, founded in 2016 as part of the Rayliant Global Advisors group by Jason Hsu, Ph.D., is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, with additional offices in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and international locations including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, London, and Taipei to support its global emerging markets focus. The ETF resulted from a strategic collaboration between Rayliant and Wilshire Advisors, which jointly developed next-generation quantitative strategy indexes powering RWEM and related funds like RWLC (U.S. Large Cap) and RAYJ (Japan Equity). Recent developments include ongoing growth in assets under management, reaching approximately $81 million as of late 2025, alongside sustained emphasis on expanding the active ETF platform amid rising demand for quantamental strategies in emerging markets. Rayliant continues to leverage its behavioral and data-driven models without major acquisitions, funding rounds, or reorganizations reported in the last 1-2 years, maintaining focus on product innovation through partnerships like the Wilshire collaboration. The firm serves a global clientele of institutions, financial advisors, and high-net-worth individuals, with no parent company affiliations noted.
