This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG-N) is positioned as a compelling investment opportunity with significant exposure to diverse markets, particularly in emerging economies. Expert reviews highlight that the ETF provides broad exposure across all market capitalization segments, encompassing over 2800 holdings, which is crucial for navigating the volatility typically associated with emerging markets. The ETF taps into the growth potential of key economies, including Taiwan, South Korea, China, India, and Brazil, which are viewed as among the fastest-growing in the world. With a very low management expense ratio (MER) of 9 bps and positive growth forecasts for GDP in emerging markets, IEMG is seen as a strategic play for Canadian investors who are underinvested in international markets. Analysts also note that when the US dollar weakens, emerging markets tend to outperform, further supporting the case for this ETF as a viable long-term investment.

BUY

 He's looking at Africa, where stocks are not diverse, with a lot of mining, banks and telcos. More and more growth is coming outside the US in the next coming years. Historically, if the US dollar is weak, emerging markets outperform and vice versa. 

TOP PICK

Canadian investors are too light in international markets. This ETF gives broad EM exposure across all market caps. Very low MER of 9 bps. Pretty diversified at over 2800 holdings -- you want to be diversified with EMs, as they tend to be pretty volatile. He expects GDP for EMs to grow ~3.9% in 2026, compared to developed markets at 1.8%.

Exposure here to Taiwan, South Korea, China, India, and Brazil -- the fastest-growing economies in the world. Taps into growth companies in technology, financials, and consumer discretionary outside NA. Valuation of the EM index is about 35-40% lower than that of the S&P, and it's been outperforming the S&P since early 2025.

Positive structural tailwinds of EMs -- demographics, urbanization, rising wealth, rising domestic consumption.

BUY
Inflation-protection trades: energy (and materials). Both cyclical sectors are positively correlated to inflation. She also likes Martin Marietta given its heavy business in residential and non-res construction and a tailwind from Dems and Republicans to fix bridges and ports during supply-chain issues. Financials: JPM she likes, though they had a disappointing recent earnings, they do have a multi-faceted business. For more cyclicals, consider EM, namely IEMG.
TOP PICK

He has a smaller allocation to Emerging Markets compared to developed markets (like US or Canada). He likes this one. Very big ETF in US dollars. This one doesn’t have small caps. He prefers to be out of small caps in Emerging Markets given the volatility.
