VictoryShares Emerging Market High Div Volatility Wtd ETF (CEY) focuses on high-dividend emerging market equities, weighted by volatility. The ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to dividend-paying stocks in emerging markets while managing risk through a volatility-weighted approach.
CEY generates revenue primarily through management fees based on the assets under management. The ETF's unique volatility-weighted strategy allows it to potentially outperform traditional high-dividend strategies by focusing on stocks with higher volatility, which can lead to greater returns in favorable market conditions.

high - emerging market equities are sensitive to global economic cycles, as growth in developed markets often drives demand for exports from these regions.
Rising interest rates can negatively impact the attractiveness of dividend-paying stocks, as fixed income alternatives become more appealing, potentially leading to decreased demand for the ETF.
minimal - the ETF is not directly dependent on credit markets but may be affected by overall market sentiment towards emerging market debt.
dividend - investors seeking income through dividends from emerging market equities.
moderate - the ETF's volatility is influenced by the underlying emerging market equities, which can be more volatile than developed markets.
