EEM still wins the battle hands down in terms of options liquidity and open interest when compared head to head against VWO, as hedgers and speculators typically jump to EEM first when putting on or taking off sizable options trades in the EM space, and this is a major factor for many institutional managers (especially hedge funds and funds that typically trade quickly in size, incorporating ETF/options strategies) when determining “best fit” for portfolios among broad tracking EM ETFs.
Given the recent volatility in the EM space and particularly China, we have our eyes on several leveraged and inverse products at this juncture as well, including EDC (Direxion Daily Emerging Markets Bull 3X, Expense Ratio 0.95%), EDZ (Direxion Daily Emerging Markets Bear 3X, Expense Ratio 0.95%), YINN (Direxion Daily China Bull 3X, Expense Ratio 0.95%), YANG (Direxion Daily China Bear 3X, Expense Ratio 0.95%), YXI (ProShares Short FTSE China 25, Expense Ratio 0.95%), EUM (ProShares Short MSCI Emerging Markets, Expense Ratio 0.95%), FXP (ProShares UltraShort FTSE China 25, Expense Ratio 0.95%), EEV (ProShares UltraShort MSCI Emerging Markets, Expense Ratio 0.95%), XPP (ProShares Ultra FTSE China 25, Expense Ratio 0.95%) and EET (ProShares Ultra MSCI Emerging Markets, Expeense Ratio 0.95%).
