A low cost ETF that seeks to offer broad exposure to emerging market equities. Could potentially mitigate country-specific risk.
  • VWO – Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF. Invests in stocks of companies located in emerging markets around the world, such as China, Brazil, Taiwan, and South Africa.

Only appropriate for long-term goals.
