ETF of the Week: ERShares NextGen Entrepreneurs ETF (ERSX)
ETF Trends CEO Tom Lydon discussed the
ERShares Non-US Small Cap ETF (ERSX) on this week’s “ETF of the Week” podcast with Chuck Jaffe on the MoneyLife Show. [Note: ERShares announced a name changed for ERSX, as the fund is now the ERShares NextGen Entrepreneurs ETF effective February 5, however, this episode was recorded before said announcement.]
ERSX selects the most entrepreneurial, primarily Non-US Small Cap companies, that meet the thresholds embedded in their proprietary Entrepreneur Factor (EF). ERShares’ EF delivers strong performance across various investment strategies without disrupting investors’ underlying risk profile metrics. Their geographic diversity enables them to harness global advantages through additional returns associated with currency fluctuations, strategic geographic allocations, comparative trade imbalances, and relative supply/demand strengths.
