The fund offers a different take on the total market segment of emerging economies. Using RAFI's fundamental methodology, the fund picks 350 stocks based on cash flow, dividends, sales and book value. It then uses the same fundamental measures to weight the companies selected from the FTSE Emerging All Cap Index. Combined with FTSE's classification of South Korea as a developed nation, CWO ends up making some major sector and country bets. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted annually.
