5 terms

exchange-traded fund financial

"The new active exchange-traded fund (ETF) expands the firm's ETF offerings"

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of investment fund that holds a collection of assets, such as stocks or bonds, and is traded on stock exchanges like individual stocks. It allows investors to buy and sell a diversified group of investments easily and efficiently, often at a lower cost. ETFs provide a simple way to gain exposure to a broad market or specific sectors without having to buy each asset separately.

etf financial

"The firm's active ETF lineup expands to 32 with today's addition"

An ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is like a basket of different investments such as stocks or bonds that you can buy or sell easily on the stock market, just like a regular share. It allows people to invest in many companies at once, making it a simple way to grow savings without picking individual stocks.

View in glossary

net expense ratio financial

"TEMR's net expense ratio is 0.40%."

The net expense ratio is the percentage of a fund’s assets taken each year to cover its operating costs and management fees after any fee waivers or reimbursements. Think of it as an annual toll on your investment: the higher the percentage, the more it reduces the fund’s returns over time, so investors use it to compare how much different funds will cost and how those costs may erode gains.

equities financial

"long-term capital growth through a portfolio of emerging markets equities."

Equities are shares of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a share of the company's value as it rises or falls. For investors, equities matter because they offer potential for growth and income but also carry risk—like owning a slice of a business, your return depends on how well that business performs, and shares can be bought or sold in markets to change your exposure.

View in glossary

portfolio financial

"offer a professionally managed, risk-aware portfolio to help diversify"

A portfolio is a collection of investments owned by an individual or organization, such as stocks, bonds, or other assets. It is like a personal toolkit that contains different types of investments to help manage risk and achieve financial goals. The way investments are combined in a portfolio can influence how much money is made or lost over time.

The firm's active ETF lineup expands to 32 with today's addition of the T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Equity Research ETF, which began trading today

BALTIMORE, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- T. Rowe Price, a global investment management firm and a leader in retirement, announced today the addition of the T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Equity Research ETF (Ticker: TEMR). The new active exchange-traded fund (ETF) expands the firm's ETF offerings into the emerging markets category. It applies a similar research approach as other offerings in T.

TEMR began trading on the NYSE Arca today.

With between 180-280 holdings, TEMR's objective is long-term capital growth through a portfolio of emerging markets equities.

Rowe Price U.S. Equity Research ETF (TSPA) and International Equity Research (TIER).

T. Rowe Price Emerging Markets Equity Research ETF is actively co-managed by six investment professionals:

• Sridhar Nishtala, director of equity research, Asia Pacific
• Jason Nogueira, head of global equity research
• Tetsuji Inoue, director of equity research, Asia
• Leigh Innes, portfolio manager, International and Global Structured Research strategies
• Kamran Baig, director of equity research, EMEA and Latin America
• Tobias Mueller, director of research, Europe

This team also co-manages T. Rowe Price International Equity Research ETF (TIER), which launched in June 2025. TEMR's net expense ratio is 0.40%.

Today's debut brings T. Rowe Price's roster of active ETFs to 32, including 22 equity ETFs and 10 fixed income offerings. Each ETF delivers key features associated with ETFs such as tax efficiency, more competitive expense ratios, and the flexibility to buy and sell shares throughout the trading day. Portfolio managers follow the firm's rigorous research practice of asking better questions, as they strive to deliver better investment outcomes for clients.
