The VANGUARD FTSE EMERGING MKTS ALL CAP IDX ETF (VEE-T) is highlighted positively by several experts, particularly for its broad exposure to key emerging markets such as China, Taiwan, India, and Brazil. Experts note the ETF's uptrend and low management expense ratio (MER), making it an attractive investment option for those looking to diversify beyond North America. While some experts prefer alternative emerging market ETFs like XEM and CIEM, VEE is praised for its value, as it provides a low-cost way to tap into the growth potential of emerging markets that are less expensive than U.S. stocks. Additionally, demographic trends and rising middle classes in these regions are anticipated to drive future growth, presenting a great long-term investment opportunity. Overall, VEE is viewed as a solid choice for investors seeking inflation-hedging assets.

XEM
BUY
VEE vs. VWO VEE is a past pick--it's the best emerging market ETF in Canada. Excellent at a 0.25% MER, covering India, which is a star performer in the emerging markets. VEE is in Canadian dollars vs. VWO whch trades in USD, so you can't put it in a TFSA. Both are good though.
DON'T BUY
It does not include Korea, whereas iShares' version includes it. Broadly speaking, emerging markets are still relatively cheap from a PE perspective, so he likes them from a relative value perspective but not from an absolute risk perspective because of expected global slowdown.
COMMENT

XID vs VEE (India vs. EM) VEE is Asia-ex Japan. It contains some major India stocks, plus Korea and China. With XID, you're making a country call. Do you know something about India that the world does not? He is not a country allocator. Take a look at Forstrong ETFs (https://www.forstrong.com/) which actively manage their funds, and you need that if you're so country-specific.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 23/19, Down 0.2%) US-China trade talks are pressuring this. He's a huge, huge long-term emerging markets bull: much higher GDP driven by a growing middle class. EM now makes up 20-25% of the world's markets, rising at an astonishing rate.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 23/19, Down 0.2%) US-China trade talks are pressuring this. He's a huge, huge long-term emerging markets bull: much higher GDP driven by a growing middle class. EM now makes up 20-25% of the world's markets, rising at an astonishing rate.
BUY
A good choice, especially because it's pretty good. How much exposure you want really depends. The US still remains the best performing market. He would allocate around 5-10%.
TOP PICK
Emerging markets hold 85% of the world's population, 50% of GDP, but only 15% of market cap. So, the market cap doesn't reflect population. The long-term (5+ years) trend is very favourable for EM. There is growth potential here.
BUY
It's exposed beyond North American tech which has outpaced emerging markets recently, but over 20 years, EM has outperformed slightly. Every dog has its day, and this will. So, it's worth holding onto. Remember: EM represents only 8% of global market cap, but 49% of global GDP.
BUY

He owns 10% of this in his client portfolios. It's a great way to play EM, like XEC. This is basically Chinese large-caps; EMs will see future growth (not North American or western European stocks). But you have to stomach the volatility with VEE. Allocate 5-10% in emerging markets.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 08/19, Down 6%) He's long-term with EM (20 years) and he still likes this space. EM valautions are very low, yet there's strong GDP growth with an emerging middle class. VEE includes nearly 30 countries including China, India, Mexico and Hungary.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 25/18, Up 3%) He switched out of VEE to XEC because it was a better mix. He still likes emerging markets, because those stocks have better prices than Europe and North America.
TOP PICK
Emerging markets are the most under-owned asset class in the world. It's a high-growth area; these parts of the world have a rapidly growing middle class with GDP growth that will outpace Canada and the west. China and India are growing 5-6% annually.
DON'T BUY

Likes Vanguard ETFs and would consider this, but he isn't buying emerging markets now. The China market has dropped 25%, for instance. He's waiting and watching the EM. He likes India. He prefers South Korea and Japan--developed markets--over emerging.

DON'T BUY

He is bullish on emerging markets now. He thinks there are better ways to play it than a broad-based instrument. This is low cost, pure beta. He prefers concentration in Asia.

BUY

A solid choice with an exceptionally low fee. Given the recent draw down it is good value. If you want a dividend paying focus you could also consider HAJ-T from Horizons that offers a little more active management.
