iShares Broad Emerging Market ETF
CWO-T

Some of the ETF providers have a legacy ETF and then they come out with one called Core. Check what the MER is. Because for the most they are basically the same. You should have a healthy exposure to Emerging Markets.
Broad emerging market ETF. This is hedged against the US$ so it eliminates some of the currency risks. Every growth-oriented investor should have exposure to emerging economies but shouldn't represent a major portion of a portfolio.
1) Broad Emerging Markets ETF (CWO-T) or 2) BRIC ETF (CBQ-T)? CWO is a basket of emerging market countries while CBQ-T is focused on 4 countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China. If you're looking for growth and diversification he would prefer BRIC.
Claymore Emerging Market ETF (CWO-T) versus iShares Emerging-Market ETF (XEM-T)? Claymore uses the PUTSI-RAFI (?) Emerging Markets Index. If you feel fundamental indexing is a more positive, longer-term approach, then Claymore would be best.
Does not use it. It is a smart beta type index, which he likes. It filters out some of the weaker stocks. However, he thinks the emerging markets will underperform so only buy them on pullbacks.
