Stock price when the opinion was issued
A Morgan Stanley world index ETF would be good and simple. Because the US is so dominant in market-weighted indices, a Morgan Stanley ETF will have 70% in US stocks. But you're getting global diversification, not EMs. That will be somewhat of an offset.
It'll be very conservative.
I'm young and willing to buy an ETF that carries risk. Which one? VXC-T, a one-stop, affordable ETF ex-Canada. Or there's ex-EM, XWD-T. Also, pick something in a sector you're comfortable with and know something about. Don't go in blind.
