EGShares thematic ETFs were developed to help investors seeking precise exposures within emerging markets that are driven by specific demographic, economic, industrial or social trends within one country or investment opportunities deemed compelling in multiple countries, such as with ECON, our Emerging Markets Consumer product.

Examples might be investments relating to increased consumer consumption, infrastructure growth, responses to global warming, or increasing needs for healthcare, water and other natural resources. Thematic investments might also be built around broader economic, geopolitical, and financial themes by centering on concepts such as war and political risk, global power shifts, and sweeping cultural changes. As well, we can look to the evolution and performance of now-developed economies to see how emerging markets will likely progress. While history never repeats, as they say, we may be able to discern economic patterns over time. Those “clues” can provide guidance from an investing stance.
