| Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform in the last year? EMQQ The Emerging Markets ETF (the “Fund”) seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that track the performance of EMQQ The Emerging Markets Internet Index (the “Index”). For the year ended August 31, 2024, the Fund has delivered a total return of 11.29% at Net Asset Value ("NAV"). This was primarily driven by strong underlying fundamentals of the Fund’s Indian internet companies, which are experiencing robust growth as the country undergoes rapid digitalization from a low base. The Fund also had several strong performers in Latin America driven by e-commerce and fintech companies supplanting market share from more traditional players in brick-and-mortar retail and financial services. The same phenomenon drove robust performance in e-commerce names in Southeast Asia. Prospects of interest rate cuts throughout 2024 also provided a boost to assets in emerging markets. |
