Data from May 2024 shows emerging market investing in Eastern Europe gaining traction as inflation moderates, supporting retail sector profitability and dividend payouts. One thing to know, and this is kind of reassuring: Sizable economies dominate the EEM index. Meaning they are presumably less subject to collapse than, say, a small South American nation. China has the highest index weighting at 30%, followed by Taiwan 19% and India at 16%. Their EM status has a lot to do with how emerging nations are designated. High levels or poverty, such as in China and India, is a big factor in the EM categorizing. So, I I'm curious. I mean, obviously you're a bull on all of this stuff um and you're very positive. When I look at over the next year, I mean we've have had significant periods of underperformance from for emerging markets leading up to now. Global asset managers remain bullish on emerging market investing as yield spreads over developed markets remain attractive, particularly in fixed income instruments tied to local EM economies.
