About Unified Series Trust OneAscent Emerging Markets ETF

OAEM holds a high conviction portfolio of emerging market equities. The fund expects to invest in at least three countries and may include depositary receipts, preferred stocks, convertibles, rights, and warrants in its equity investments. It uses a values-based screening process, which first excludes companies involved in controversial activities from the investable universe and then identifies companies with positive ESG impact. The fund adviser combines quantitative analysis and bottom-up fundamental research to consider the corporate life-cycle spectrum and identify companies that can generate sustainable returns on investment. OAEM seeks to invest across all parts of the life-cycle spectrum and hold high-growth, high-return, income-oriented and distressed investments. The fund adviser may use forwards, swaps, or futures to hedge foreign currency exposure and utilize options or total return swaps to hedge equity exposure.
