VWO Tracks This Index: FTSE Emerging Transition Index
Description: The index represents components of the FTSE Emerging Index and South Korean stock exposure. FTSE Emerging Markets ETF is an exchange-traded share class of Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund. The fund invests substantially all (normally about 95%) of its assets in the common stocks of the index, while employing a form of sampling to reduce risk. The FTSE Emerging Transition Index will gradually reduce South Korean equity exposure over about six months while proportionately adding exposure to stocks of companies located in other countries based on their weightings in the destination index, the FTSE Emerging Index.
