DEXC uses the Issuers integrated investment strategy combining research, portfolio design, and trading. The ETF aims to balance long-term expected returns by investing in a broad, diversified range of emerging market equities, excluding China, focusing on smaller, lower-price, and higher profitability companies. This is done through a market capitalization-weighted approach, with adjustments for size and valuation factors. The ETF maintains a policy of investing based on market classification from global institutions and index providers. The fund may use a flexible trading approach to manage costs and can utilize instruments like depositary receipts, equity swaps, and futures to adjust exposure. Securities lending may be employed to generate extra income. Changes in investment criteria and market conditions are regularly reviewed to adjust holdings effectively.
