Sometimes, being different is good. That is true of emerging markets exchange-traded funds. Since the dawn of the ETF industry more than 20 years ago, advisors and investors have flocked to traditional, cap-weighted emerging markets ETFs.
However, as investing in emerging economies has changed over the years, there has not been much evolution by standard emerging markets ETFs. The Emerging Markets Internet and Ecommerce ETF (The) (NYSE: EMQQ) represents evolution in this corner of the ETF universe. EMQQ, which debuted in November 2014, tracks the EMQQ The Emerging Markets Internet and Ecommerce Index.
Sometimes Different Isn't A Bad Thing
EMQQ's components “must derive their profits from e-commerce or Internet activities and include search engines, online retail, social networking, online video, e-payments, online gaming and online travel,” according to the issuer.
