ETF Sector Spotlight: Emerging Markets
After last year’s marked underperformance, March brought with it happier times for the emerging markets. The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Market ETF (VWO), the largest equity emerging markets ETF by total assets, handily outperformed the S&P 500 (SPY) by almost 4%.
Moreover, for the week ended April 4, emerging markets funds actually saw net inflows, a big change from the record net outflows during the first quarter.
It remains to be seen whether these factors are just anomalies in a down market, or if they are harbingers of further gains to come. Either way, the emerging markets deserve your attention.
In this month’s ETF Sector Spotlight, we have compiled the 10 largest equity-focused Emerging Market ETFs that you should know about. This list shows you the many ways to play the emerging markets through ETFs. An investor could choose to invest in all emerging markets, select regions, select countries, and even select sectors within regions or countries.
