DGS ETF

Small caps have surged recently, but emerging market small caps lag. DGS offers a high 3.6% yield but has underperformed since Q3. Despite weak recent performance, I maintain a buy rating on DGS due to its attractive valuation, diversification, and bullish seasonal trends. DGS has a low P/E ratio of 10.2, a PEG ratio below one, and a diversified portfolio with significant exposure to Industrials and Financials.

A smart beta exchange traded fund, the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend ETF (DGS) debuted on 10/30/2007, and offers broad exposure to the Broad Emerging Market ETFs category of the market.
