Emerging Global Advisors Wins ETF.com Award for Best New International/Global Equity ETF

NEW YORK, March 23, 2016

Launched on September 2, 2015, XCEM provides broad exposure to emerging markets excluding China and Hong Kong, allowing investors to preserve or supplement emerging market portfolios without increasing their exposure to China. The Fund tracks the EGAI Emerging Markets ex-China Index. The index is free-floating, market cap-weighted and ranked in line with broad-based, market cap-weighted conventional indices. It provides exposure to 20 countries, including South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India and South Africa.

"China is already the dominant country in broad-based emerging market benchmarks and major indices have announced their intention to increase allocations to China through A-Shares," said EGA President and Founder Robert C. Holderith. "This becomes a question of diversification and how you want to accomplish it. We launched XCEM to deliver core emerging market exposure independent of China."

"XCEM addresses the needs of investors who are looking for greater control over their exposure to this market," said EGA Chief Product and Marketing Officer Marc Zeitoun. "It's a matter of understanding what you own and what you're intending to own. The fund is a strong fit for investors who are looking to be more balanced in their approach to China without forfeiting opportunities in other emerging markets."
