VANGUARD FTSE EMERGING MKTS ALL CAP IDX (VEE.TO)

Emerging Markets. Probably the cheapest. Cap weighted. Also, likes CWO is the fundamentals emerging markets, XMM is the minimum volatility emerging markets ETF.

(Top Pick Dec 6/12, Up 5.96%) An underperformer in a robust year. Emerging markets are criminally under owned by North Americans. A core holding for him.

Core holding. This will do well beyond this coming year. Emerging markets will do as well as or better than developed markets. Emerging markets are weakly correlated to developed markets so is a good diversifier and lower the risk of the portfolio.

(A Top Pick Dec 31/12. Down 1.69%.) He doesn’t really have very much in emerging markets right now. Likes this one because it is cheap but he is not widely enthusiastic about emerging markets right now.

Moving from MSCI to FTSE is not an issue for him. No matter which bench mark provider they use, it comes down to the cost of licensing it.

(A Top Pick July 12/12. Up 4.34%.) Emerging markets have really been hit, which is one of the reasons he likes it even more. Emerging markets is one of the most under owned asset class in the world. This gives you diversification as well as a good growth story.

(A Top Pick Feb 27/12. Up 2.68%.) Has been a relatively sluggish year for emerging markets.

His allocation is basically 10% in international and 5% in emerging markets. He uses iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (XEM-T) because it is more liquid when he has to do larger trades. The one you have chosen would be a little bit cheaper.

(A Top Pick Jan 23/12. Up 10.56%.) This is probably the one he recommends the most. If you want continued growth, emerging markets are growing at 5%-6%.

Cheap and this is the reason he is buying it. Things looked pretty bleak in the spring for this sector but we are now seeing a turnaround on a lot of this.

(A Top Pick Dec 20/11. Up 8.78%.) Cheapest emerging market ETF available in Canada. This is a criminally under owned asset class because most people invest with US or Canadian assets. Emerging markets are growing like gangbusters.

(Market Call Minute.) The emerging-market complex is getting a little more interesting than just buying the broad based ones.
