The Columbia EM Core ex-China ETF (XCEM) targets investors wanting emerging market exposure while avoiding China and Hong Kong due to geopolitical and regulatory concerns. It is heavily weighted in technology sectors, particularly in Taiwan and Korea, with significant company-specific risks in TSM and Samsung. Although XCEM has outperformed the broad emerging market benchmark since inception and over the past year, it underperforms compared to key ex-China peers like FRDM in both total and risk-adjusted returns. Despite its low expense ratio and favorable macroeconomic conditions, FRDM presents a stronger track record, though most ex-China emerging market ETFs remain exposed to geopolitical risks related to Taiwan.
