Causeway Files Quant ETF Targeting 220–300 Emerging Market Stocks

The Causeway Emerging Markets Equity ETF (CWEM) will invest at least 80% of assets in emerging-market equities and related exposures across at least 10 countries. Its proprietary quantitative model scores stocks using valuation, growth, technical, competitive and corporate-event factors alongside macroeconomic, currency and country-sector signals, with stock-specific factors driving roughly 75% of each company’s score. The diversified actively-managed portfolio will generally hold 220–300 investments across market caps and may allocate up to 10% to frontier and other less-developed markets. It can also invest in China A-shares and VIEs and use emerging-market index futures for cash management.
