EMQQ ETF

Kevin Carter of EMQQ Global says that India is a very special situation and that the digital and internet sectors are particularly exciting.

Emerging markets have significantly underperformed U.S. equities recently, but multiple factors may contribute to a break in this recent trend. Middle class populations in emerging markets are expected to see tremendous growth, contributing to demand for internet and ecommerce. EMQQ focuses on the growing consumption of internet and ecommerce in emerging markets, but I discuss an alternative global fund in this article with potentially lower risk and better performance.

The adoption of digital technologies in emerging countries is improving the efficiency of SMEs and offering new revenue prospects. The EMQQ ETF tracks the EMQQ Emerging Markets Internet & Ecommerce Index, providing exposure to internet and e-commerce solutions in China and other emerging markets. The ETF has a high exposure to China, as well as holdings in India and Brazil, and has shown strong returns despite its higher expense ratio.
