The Emerging Market Consumer Internet & E-Commerce Opportunity

An Overview of the KraneShares Emerging Markets Consumer Technology ETF

(Ticker: KEMQ)

KEMQ | 3/31/2026

Page 1

Investment Strategy:

KEMQ seeks to track the Solactive Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Index. The Index selects companies from 26 eligible countries within emerging markets (EM) whose primary business or businesses are internet retail, internet software/services, purchase, payment processing, or software for internet and E-Commerce transactions. Upon rebalance, constituent weights are capped at 3% and country weights are capped at 40%.

Emerging Markets Consumer Technology Highlights:

  • Internet adoption is expanding within emerging markets while domestic consumption and retail sales are steadily increasing and frequently taking place online.
  • In 2025, despite the slowest expansion since the pandemic, the global middle class will surpass 4 billion for the first time, becoming the majority. World Data Lab projects this dominance will continue, with another billion+ people joining the middle class within the next decade, reaching 5.7 billion consumer class individuals out of a world population of 8.7 billion.
  • We believe the growth of internet adoption within emerging markets is a long-term secular theme that may continue to play out over the course of decades.

KEMQ features:

  • Access to emerging market internet companies that provide similar services as Google, Facebook, PayPal, Amazon, etc.
  • Exposure to companies that stand to benefit from increasing domestic consumption by emerging markets' growing middle class, irrespective of their country of incorporation.
  • Exposure to emerging market companies facilitating mobile E-Commerce sales.

Transformational growth in emerging markets is driven by the "Three P's"

Population

The middle-class consumer in Emerging Markets will drive global demand.

Penetration

Internet adoption is the catalyst for rapid innovation and facilitates "leapfrogging".

Performance

Technology firms across the emerging markets are taking global leadership positions.

Page 3

This is why we buy EM:

  • Demographics
  • Urban Middle Class
  • Consumption
  • Adoption of Technology & Telecommunications
  • Healthcare

But this is what we get when we buy broad EM:

  • Commodities
  • "Old economy" companies
  • Slow growth sectors

Broad Emerging Markets have been "out of favor" in the past decade ...

EM consumer/technology has outperformed emerging markets over the past decade.

  • In order to show the historical performance of the EM consumer/technology sectors within the MSCI EM Index, we combined the Index's information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors. We used the sectors' pre- and post-GICS reclassification weightings pictured in slide 11.
  • We found that EM consumer/technology outperformed both broad emerging markets since December 2010.

Chart showing Forward Price-to-Earnings Ratio (FY1 P/E) comparing US Internet vs KEMQ from 12/31/2017 through 3/31/2026. KEMQ's Forward P/E has consistently remained below the US Internet sector's Forward P/E throughout the period.

However, capturing the performance of the EM consumer/technology sector can be complicated.

  • In the past, E-Commerce and internet platforms were classified by Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS) as information technology (IT) companies.
  • However, as this sector evolved, it ended up grouping social media platforms, E-Commerce, gaming, and internet companies with chip-makers and hardware companies.
  • In October 2018, GICS underwent a major reclassification to resolve this issue. Information technology was left with mostly hardware companies, while E-Commerce and internet platforms were split between two other sectors: consumer discretionary and communication services (formerly telecommunication services).
  • For instance, Alibaba and Mercado Libre were shifted to the consumer discretionary sector, while internet platforms, such as Baidu and Naver, were classified as communication services companies.

Our index filtering process also results in a very different country breakdown than traditional emerging markets.

Unlike the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, KEMQ's index may contain companies located in developed markets that nonetheless derive significant revenue from emerging markets.

KEMQ Country Breakdown

  • China: 32%
  • South Korea: 15%
  • Taiwan: 12%
  • Singapore: 6%
  • India: 4%
  • United States: 3%
  • Uruguay: 3%
  • Japan: 2%
  • Brazil: 1%
  • Other: 22%

Country Breakdown: KEMQ vs. MSCI Emerging Markets

Although Japan and Germany are not emerging market countries, the holdings headquartered in these countries derive significant revenue from emerging markets.

Others include Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, and Egypt.

A maximum weight of 40% per Country of Domicile is applicable. If the 40% cap is breached, the following steps will be taken: Stocks from the respective Country of Domicile which have the smallest Market Capitalization values are removed until country weight is below or equal to 40%. To reach 50 companies in the index once again, companies from the eligible universe (excluding respective Country of Domicile) are selected based on highest Market Capitalization.

Key Semiconductor Insights

  • NVIDIA has become a well-known player in the semiconductor industry recently. However, it is a fabless semiconductor company, meaning it designs chips instead of manufacturing them.
  • NVIDIA has cultivated pivotal partnerships with Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) and SK Hynix, which are integral to bringing its innovative products to market.
  • TSMC, as the world's largest foundry, manufactures NVIDIA's high-performance GPUs using its cutting-edge 5nm and 4nm process nodes.
  • SK Hynix is the undisputed leader in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, securing 62% global market share in this specialized memory crucial for GPU-accelerated AI computation that companies like NVIDIA rely on.

We believe using KEMQ to augment or replace an existing exposure to broad EM may provide performance benefits.

  • We have found that investors tend to fall into one of three camps: no EM exposure, some exposure, or significant exposure.
  • We have mapped out how KEMQ (EM Growth) may fit into each of these three investors' portfolios.

Investor Types and Hypothetical Portfolios

Investor Type Current Allocation Hypothetical Portfolio
Hypothetical Investor 1: No EM Exposure 0% 100% Other
Hypothetical Investor 2: Some EM Exposure 3-5% EM Growth 3-5%, Other 95-97%
Hypothetical Investor 3: Significant EM Exposure 20% EM Growth 3-5%, Broad-Based EM 15-17%, Other 80-82%
