Industry Voice: Emerging Market ETFs - the end of acronym investing?

clock • 1 min read

The allure of fast economic growth and changing demographics has driven many investors towards Emerging Markets. However, there is a clear dispersion in returns within this asset class for a number of reasons, including diverging economic policy, GDP growth rates, consumption habits, capital markets setup and geopolitical risk.

For these reasons, allocating to broad Emerging Markets indices or to countries grouped together according to acronyms and phrases such as BRICs, MINT and CIVETS doesn't always work. Instead, it can pay to be more granular, which is why regional and single country ETFs come in handy.

Lyxor has over 15 years of experience in ETFs, and currently manages over €5.8bn in Emerging Markets ETF assets (Soure: Lyxor as at 03/08/16). One of Lyxor's greatest strengths is its track record in delivering secure, liquid, and precise tracking in even the most remote investment markets.
