Moat and Competitive Advantages
Competitive Edge
The ETF's competitive advantage lies in its unique focus on national security considerations within emerging markets. This niche approach differentiates it from broad-based emerging market ETFs.

It caters to investors seeking both financial returns and alignment with specific geopolitical priorities.

Market Risk
Specific market risks include emerging market volatility, currency fluctuations, geopolitical events, and the potential impact of national security-related screening on investment returns.
Investor Profile
Ideal Investor Profile
The ideal investor is someone who wants exposure to emerging markets but also wants their investments aligned with U.S. national security interests.
Market Risk
More suited for long-term investors who are comfortable with emerging market risks and value the national security overlay.
Summary
The National Security Emerging Markets Index ETF offers a unique approach to emerging market investing by integrating national security considerations. This can lead to a portfolio that differs significantly from standard emerging market ETFs. Investors should carefully consider whether this alignment with national security priorities outweighs the potential for higher tracking error and differing sector allocations. Its specific performance is unknown and more due diligence is needed before investment. The fund caters to those who prioritize both financial returns and US national security objectives.
