What is KEM?

The KraneShares Dynamic Emerging Markets Strategy ETF (KEM) is an active ETF that provides investors with exposure to broad Emerging Market (EM) equities while dynamically adjusting the portfolio's China weight based on fundamental, valuation, and technical signals. KEM has the potential to mitigate downside risk by dynamically adjusting its allocations between the Underlying ETFs and cash and cash equivalents. By combining a strategic allocation with a systematic valuation overlay between China and the rest of Emerging Markets, KEM may potentially outperform its benchmark: the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
