As Rare As The Loch Ness Monster, Equities At A 10 P/E

As Rare As The Loch Ness Monster, Equities At A 10 P/E

By Jeff Weniger of WisdomTree

“Nessie.” That’s the nickname for the lake-living, reclusive beast that has lured spellbound tourists to a fabled Scottish lake—Loch Ness—for decades. This raging stock market has gotten to such a point that you could be forgiven for thinking the Loch Ness Monster hoax is more believable than claims of spotting a low P/E equity basket these days.

By and large, there is not much you can do if you want a really low P/E in the U.S.—not with the S&P 500 Index loitering around 3,800, its forward P/E at 23.

To get there, you might consider turning to emerging markets (EM).

We have a couple of Funds that own a bunch of inexpensive stocks, the type of Funds you might own when you are decidedly bulled up on value relative to growth.

Here are two of our deepest value ideas: DGS, The WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Fund, and DEM, The WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund.

3 Dividend-Paying ETFs to Consider Adding to You Portfolio (DEM)

Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF(NYSE:VYM): While the stock markets are hovering around all-time-high levels, the U.S. economy is still uncertain, hamstrung by not knowing when exactly the COVID-19 pandemic will abate, and business and commerce will return to pre-pandemic activity. This is driving some anxiety among investors who would love to lock in a steady source of income. So, we think it may now be wise for them to invest in dividend-paying ETFs, such as Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM), Vanguard Real Estate ETF (VNQ) and WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund (DEM), which stand out for their exceptional dividend yields.

DGS: My Favorite Emerging Markets ETF

Summary
  • Emerging Markets equities are down 22% YTD, with the EM small-cap value sector decimated, down 28%.
  • However, the long-term case for emerging markets small-cap value is still in play and arguably even stronger.
  • Based on screening across many factors, the Wisdom Tree Emerging Markets Small Cap Dividend ETF is my top choice in this sector.
  • Nonetheless, given market volatility and uncertainty, investors may prefer to wait before stepping into the lion’s cage.

Accumulated Thailand Equities Today (THD) 2-24-20

We are continuing to buy down our cost basis in the iShares MSCI Thailand ETF (THD). We do intend to sell these shares when profitable, but don’t mind holding them until profitable. I expect we may collect another dividend before selling them. We will eventually move these funds into a diversified emerging markets fund such as DGS or DEM.

The Case For Emerging Markets Small Cap Value (DGS)

Summary

  • Emerging markets (EM) small cap value is an attractive asset class for long-term, value-oriented macro investors.
  • EM equities and particularly EM small cap value have lagged for the past 10 years and are poised for a return to their longer-term strong performance.
  • Investors need to carefully weigh coronavirus, ESG, financial reporting, currency, political and trade risks.

Emerging Markets Are Cheap: This Dividend-Weighted ETF May Beat The Cap-Weighted Index (DGS, DEM)

Summary
  • By all measures emerging market value is the cheapest major asset class as demonstrated in the famous GMO bar chart of asset classes.
  • The quantitative and value-based GMO view is affirmed by a comparison of Vanguard’s emerging markets fund to Vanguard ETFs representing several other asset classes.
  • Emerging value must be backed into by using factors such as high dividend yield and avoiding cap weighting; comparison to Vanguard emerging suggests three funds for consideration.
  • The risks of emerging markets differ from those of other asset classes, but the risks are well known; I suggest reducing China risk with strategies deemphasizing its large tech/internet stocks.
  • The right allocation for emerging value depends upon individual perspective on risk. Around 10% is conservative, but at current valuations up to 20% is OK for an informed risk taker.

Best Long-Term Performance Diversified Emerging Markets ETFs 1.2

  • The largest and one of the oldest Diversified Emerging Markets ETFs has outperformed an S&P 500 index fund by 0.95% CAGR over the last 16 years
  • One older Emerging Markets index mutual fund has outperformed an S&P 500 index fund by 2.57% CAGR over the last 20 years
  • The Emerging Markets asset class has been the #1 or #2 best performing equity asset class in 7 of the last 15 years
  • Emerging Market equities are generally riskier and more volatile.
  • Diversified Emerging Markets ETFs can help investor diversify into these markets with less risk
  • There are 79 ETFs available in the Morningstar category “Diversified Emerging Markets”. 12 of these funds have been available for 10 years or longer

The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is the largest and one of the oldest available ETFs in the Emerging Markets asset class. It was launched on April 7, 2003. Since that time, EEM has had a compounded rate of return of 10.39%. An S&P 500 index fund returned 9.44% CAGR over the same period. This outperformance came with a price though, and that price is called volatility. In the case of EEM, it’s standard deviation (a measure of volatility) was 21.97% while the S&P 500 was only 13.38% (lower mean less volatility). Other ways to demonstrate how this volatility (risk) relates to performance (reward) are the Sharpe and Sortino ratios. Typically, the higher these ratios, the better the risk vs reward ratio. In the chart below, the S&P 500 funds’ Sharpe & Sortino ratios are both higher than EEM. So, with all this additional risk, why should long-term investors consider allocating part of their equity portfolio to Diversified Emerging Markets? My answer is diversification. Diversification has oft been quoted as the “only free lunch in investing”. As a long-term investor and an investment blogger, I have made it my mission to find and invest in as many different equity asset classes as possible without degrading long-term performance. Diversified Emerging Market funds can be  a useful component in a worldwide equity portfolio because they have the potential to lift long-term performance while simultaneously reducing overall risk. The risk reduction can be found in this asset class’ correlation to U.S. Markets. Once again, referring to the chart below, this asset class has a correlation to U.S. Markets of 0.79. This is a favorable number, because the lower the number, the lower the correlation to U.S. Markets, so long as the asset class does not perform poorly long-term.
