Matthews Emerging Markets Sustainable Future Active ETF EMSF

About

The Matthews Emerging Markets Sustainable Future Active ETF (EMSF) primarily allocates its capital to equity securities, both common and preferred shares, issued by firms operating in developing and nascent markets, including those considered frontier. While it maintains flexibility across all market capitalizations, a substantial portion of its investments is expected to target smaller enterprises. The fund's strategy focuses on identifying companies poised for enduring growth, with a rigorous assessment of fundamental characteristics. This includes evaluating balance sheet integrity, organizational scale, reliability of cash flow, and overall fiscal robustness. Moreover, EMSF integrates comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria into its investment process. It utilizes both external data providers and its own in-house research to pinpoint investments that are actively working to build a sustainable future by tackling significant global environmental and societal issues. This approach also incorporates exclusionary screens, deliberately avoiding industries such as tobacco, armaments, and fossil fuels due to their controversial nature. Finally, the fund reserves the right to engage actively with its holdings on sustainability and corporate governance matters. This engagement can involve direct dialogue, exercising shareholder voting rights, and advocating for greater transparency in ESG reporting.
