“The grandfather of emerging markets exchange traded funds, WisdomTree Emerging Markets Equity Income (DEM), is our favorite way to reap dividends from this high-growth market. It levies a reasonable 0.63% expense ratio, and as the biggest fund of its type, it’s also the cheapest to trade,” he suggests.
The analyst notes the cheapest option is iShares Emerging Markets Dividend Fund (DVYE), which has an expense ratio of 0.49%. The ETF pays a 30-day SEC yield of 3.75%, according to manager BlackRock.
“However, it weights stocks by their yield, ramping up income, but at the cost of quality,” Lee said.
