This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (XEM-T) is highly regarded for its significant exposure to South Korea, which constitutes around 21% of its holdings. This allocation is notable as South Korea is recognized as a major growth hub with a dynamic environment driven by innovation. As with most emerging markets, the ETF is subject to volatility, and experts suggest monitoring the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to find optimal entry points. They recommend waiting for the RSI to dip into the 50s before investing. Overall, the strategy appears to be framed around the potential long-term growth while being mindful of market fluctuations.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Includes the very-important South Korea exposure (~21%) among its EM holdings. SK is a huge growth hub with a lot of innovation. 

EMs tend to be volatile, so you'll most likely get a better entry point (RSI down to at least the 50s).

COMMENT
Would start emerging markets exposure through a broad exposure is a good way to play it. You get a little bit of everything.
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 21/17, Up 18.42%) The emerging markets were cheap relative to Canadian markets. They are still cheap. You are seeing the beginnings of earnings acceleration in these countries.

TOP PICK

This is the time for emerging markets, and this is a nice interesting basket. He likes where they are spread out. Good yield. There have been positive earnings revisions in the area. Stronger growth and stronger currencies, with a slightly weaker US$.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 20/15. Up 7.55%.) A broad market exposure to emerging markets globally, but with a fair bit of extra jazz because it tilts towards foreign companies. For those people who can handle a little more volatility, but want emerging markets, this one works very well.

TOP PICK

This is a product that has a tilt towards small companies. This means that it will probably be more volatile than VEE-T, but it should also have higher expected returns.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Emerging markets. Risk in summer months. Thinks a correction is coming. Look for a lower low than from April and this then would be good for new money. Don’t chase the strength.

BUY
MSCI Emerging Market ETF. Great deal of volatility but good for younger children for the long term if you want growth.
BUY
His favourite emerging market ETF is ZEM because it is the cheapest but this is good also.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 3.5%.) Emerging Market ETF.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 3.26%.) Emerging market ETF. Still likes.
COMMENT
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.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 2.9%.)
COMMENT
Cdn emerging-market ETF versus US emerging-market ETF? Using US ones gives you a whole bunch of other issues including multiple currency risks, political risks, etc.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Oct 15/09, Down 3.4%) Doesn’t want much exposure to the US$ and this one helps.
