Voya Emerging Markets High Dividend Equity Fund offers active EM exposure with a proprietary quant approach and call writing overlay on liquid EM ETFs. IHD's portfolio is tech-heavy, with 30% China exposure and significant weights in Taiwan and India, mirroring EEM but with active security selection. The fund has outperformed EEM over the past two years, aided by options strategies and concentrated tech holdings, but is now fairly valued at a -7% NAV discount.
