VEE vs. XID VEE covers EM. XID: India has a young working population who speak English. India fits well into global commerce. If they build their infrastructure, India will do well. Problem is, everyone knows India's long-term story and already have high expectations. India has been underperforming the past year, so he wants to see India cheaper and offer better performance before stepping in. Wait. Look at SCIF for India small-caps For EM, focus on Asian EMs, so go with GMF-N instead of VEE.
XID vs VEE (India vs. EM) VEE is Asia-ex Japan. It contains some major India stocks, plus Korea and China. With XID, you're making a country call. Do you know something about India that the world does not? He is not a country allocator. Take a look at Forstrong ETFs (https://www.forstrong.com/) which actively manage their funds, and you need that if you're so country-specific.
(A Top Pick May 27/15. Down 17.24%.) Likes this very much, but it has been down a lot. He continues to believe that emerging markets are a ridiculously under owned asset class in Canada. This is probably the market leader in the Canadian market space. It is going to be a more volatile play, but this is a part of the world that is growing at 4%-6% GDP growth in a growing middle class. Very cheap and very diversified. This will be a long-term hold.
