ACEM has been added to the company's continuously expanding series of Insights exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Each product is aimed at offering additional value relative to market benchmarks, while also providing features that customers value, such as tax efficiency, transparency, and competitive rates."

Patricia Ribeiro, Co-Chef of Global Growth Equity Investments, stated: "Emerging markets represent one of the most attractive opportunities in global equities, and we expect growth this year and next to outpace that of developed economies. These markets offer investors access to diverse and continuously expanding growth opportunities. Combined with robust profit trends and more attractive valuations compared to developed markets, we believe emerging markets can play a valuable role in long-term equity portfolios."

The fund is jointly managed by Ribeiro, the Chief Investment Officer for Disciplined Stocks Stephen Quance, and the Portfolio Manager Sherwin Soo. The emerging markets team led by American Century manages assets worth $2.6 billion.

Alpha

Alpha is typically used to represent the value added or reduced by active investment management strategies. It reflects how an actively managed portfolio actually performs relative to the expected return of a portfolio that is influenced solely by benchmark volatility (beta) and market changes. A positive alpha indicates that the investment manager was able to capture more of the returns from the benchmark's upward movements while mitigating downward fluctuations. A negative alpha, on the other hand, means that the manager's strategy suffered more from the benchmark's downward movements and failed to fully capitalize on the upward gains.
