SYGEMF share price on Johannesburg Stock Exchange

The Sygnia Itrix MSCI Emerging Markets 50 ETF (SYGEMF) is a high-risk, passively managed index-tracking fund registered as a collective investments scheme and listed on the JSE as an exchange traded fund. The objective of SYGEMF is to provide an investment vehicle that gives investors long term capital appreciation in tracking the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets 50 Index. The ETF also aims to replicate the price and yield performance of the MSCI EM 50 Index as closely as possible by holding a portfolio of securities equivalent to the basket of securities that comprise the index, and in similar weightings to the Index.

The MSCI Emerging Markets 50 Index, weighted by free float-adjusted market capitalization, is based on the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (“Parent Index”) and includes 50 of its largest constituents, putting stronger emphasis on tradability compared to the Parent Index. To enhance tradability, the MSCI EM 50 applies eligibility screens that exclude smaller emerging market countries and replaces constituent securities for selected markets with depository receipts. Thus, the SYGEMF fund is more liquid than the Parent Index and avoids issues of instruments that have limited foreign ownership, as is also beneficial in terms of risk management.

Sygnia Itrix MSCI EM 50 ETF is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) since May 14th, 2021. Sygnia Itrix MSCI EM 50 ETF is traded on the JSE under the ticker symbol “SYGEMF”.
