XCEM: Skipping China Makes Sense, But Some Peers Do It Better

The Columbia EM Core ex-China ETF targets investors seeking emerging market exposure while avoiding China and Hong Kong. XCEM is heavily weighted in technology (48%) and concentrated in Taiwan (35%) and Korea (25%), with significant company-specific risk in TSM (15.4%) and Samsung (9.4%). While XCEM has outperformed the broad EM benchmark since inception and over the past year, it lags key ex-China peers like FRDM in total and risk-adjusted returns.
