Gossip
The fund is a darling of the 'Anti-ESG' and 'Geopolitical Risk' investment communities. It gained massive traction for its 'Freedom Weighting' strategy which excludes China and Russia, a move that looked prophetic following the Ukraine invasion and China's regulatory crackdowns.
- ·Continued capital flight from China
- ·Rise of 'Friend-shoring' investment narratives
- ·Strong performance of high-freedom markets like Taiwan and Poland
Financial
Unlike broad EM funds that are weighed down by state-owned enterprises (SOEs), FRDM focuses on markets with high capital efficiency and low corruption. It carries a higher expense ratio (0.49%) but historically offsets this with significant alpha relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
- ·Zero exposure to China and Russia
- ·Heavy weighting in Taiwan (approx. 20-25%) and South Korea
- ·Concentrated portfolio of ~100 liquid constituents
Risks
- ·High concentration in Taiwan semiconductor sector poses geopolitical risk
- ·Underperformance if Chinese equities see a massive state-led recovery
- ·Higher expense ratio compared to passive vanilla EM funds
