American Century Investments Launches Emerging Markets ETF
Kansas City-based asset manager American Century Investments has introduced a new exchange-traded fund focused on emerging markets, integrating internal research with systematic portfolio management.
American Century Investments has expanded its investment product suite with the introduction of the Emerging Markets Insights ETF (ACEM). The fund utilizes the firm's proprietary fundamental research combined with a systematic construction process to manage equity exposure in emerging economies.
Managing over $350 billion in assets, the firm is leveraging its existing research infrastructure to target institutional and retail interest in emerging market volatility. The launch follows a period of consolidation in the asset management industry where firms are increasingly prioritizing hybrid strategies that blend active insights with ETF transparency.
By formalizing this research-based approach into an ETF structure, American Century aims to capture shifts in global capital flows. The move underscores the continued expansion of the ETF market as a primary vehicle for executing specific geographic investment mandates.
