iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (XEM-T)

(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.

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$.

(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.

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.

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.
