Score Pending — Limited Data

We do not currently have enough commercially displayable fund-specific data to calculate a reliable score. This is not a negative assessment of the ETF.

ETFs on this site are scored by a separate, fund-specific model sourced from official SEC filings (Form N-PORT, N-CEN, Risk/Return Summary) when enough evidence exists -- this is not the same model or scale used for operating-company research pages. How it works →

Fund Overview

ZEM is a broad emerging-markets equity index fund managed by BMO Global Asset Management, giving Canadian investors diversified exposure to companies across multiple developing economies in a single fund.

Index Strategy

ZEM tracks the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, a market-capitalization-weighted index spanning large- and mid-capitalization companies across emerging-market countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Index membership and weights are set by MSCI, an independent third-party index provider.

Geographic Exposure

Holdings are spread across multiple emerging-market countries rather than concentrated in any single developing economy; the fund's currency exposure to those countries' local currencies is not hedged.

Principal Risks

As a fund holding equities across multiple emerging-market countries, ZEM.TO carries elevated general equity-market risk relative to developed markets, along with multi-country political and currency risk, potentially lower market liquidity in some underlying markets, and geographic-concentration risk to the specific country and sector mix of its target index.
