In this episode of “What’s the Risk?” we take a look at the historic performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Some people would know ETFs that seeks to track the
performance of this index as Blackrock’s IEM and Betashares BEMG.
Emerging markets have been much better as of late, and that’s attracted the attention of investors again. It wasn’t that long ago that emerging markets were significantly punished after Russia invaded Ukraine, and they were in the doldrums for a time after. This highlights some of the risks associated with emerging markets, some countries have governments and leaders that can increase volatility if you overweight them.
While we’re looking at MSCI’s index, we do a comparison to FTSE’s index which is tracked by Vanguard’s VGE in Australia, and look a some of the differences between the two because there are some differences on
country inclusions and size inclusions.
