Following several years of struggles, emerging markets exchange traded funds are doing little to foster confidence among investors through the first two months of 2016. For example, the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE: VWO) and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSE: EEM), the two largest emerging markets ETFs, are each down 6 percent year-to-date.
Soon after the widely followed MSCI Emerging Markets Index began swooning in earnest five years ago, investors have continually heard that developing world equities are inexpensive relative to their developed market counterparts.
