ETF · Currency in USD · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

The Rayliant Wilshire NxtGen Emerging Markets Equity ETF seeks to track the total return performance of the FT Wilshire Emerging Large NxtGen Index, providing systematic exposure to large-cap emerging markets stocks using a next-generation quantitative methodology developed by Wilshire Indexes and Rayliant.

RWEM's Sharpe Ratio of 1.30 indicates that for each unit of volatility, it generates 1.30 units of excess return above the risk-free rate. The ratio is calculated using historical daily returns over the past 12 months (as of Jun 24, 2026).

Sharpe uses total volatility (standard deviation) which includes both upside and downside price movements, making it useful for comparing risk-adjusted returns across different assets. For how to read this number and when it can mislead, see Sharpe Ratio Explained.
