SPEM ETF

SPDR Portfolio Emerging Markets ETF is a low-cost ETF with exposure to high-potential micro-cap companies in emerging markets. The Fund has benefited in recent days from its 30% exposure to Chinese equities as the Chinese government announced stimulus measures. While risks exist, particularly if China fails to sustain its stimulus efforts, I maintain my buy recommendation for SPEM given its current momentum and potential upside.

Stretched valuations in US equity markets raise concern and suggest investors should look globally for investment opportunities. The SPDR Portfolio Emerging Markets ETF is a solid low-cost investment vehicle providing exposure to the investable universe in Emerging Markets. SPEM's ability to invest in smaller-cap equities allows it to outperform other EM funds that focus solely on large- and mid-cap equities.

I analyze the characteristics of the SPEM ETF, which focuses on emerging markets. The overexposure to China has impacted the ETF's performance, but its position in the Indian market seems promising. SPEM has good sector diversification, outperforms the category average in terms of risk performance, and has strong liquidity and low expenses.
