Freedom 100 Emerging Markets ETF (FRDM) employs a semi-quantitative, freedom-weighted selection strategy, resulting in a concentrated active portfolio with 79% active share versus MSCI EM. FRDM has outperformed top passive EM ETFs by at least 1.64x, driven by high exposure to semiconductors and exclusion of China and state-owned enterprises. The ETF's largest holdings are semiconductor stocks, creating both significant upside from sector momentum and heightened risk if the memory supercycle reverses.
