With an impressively low management expense ratio (MER) of just 9 basis points, it aims to mitigate the inherent volatility tied to EM investments. Experts forecast a robust GDP growth rate of approximately 3.9% for EMs by 2026, significantly outpacing the expected 1.8% growth in developed markets. Key exposures include dynamic economies such as Taiwan, South Korea, China, India, and Brazil, particularly in the technology, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors outside North America, which are expected to drive positive returns in the long term.
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.

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.
