Alternatively, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEArca: VTI) can provide investors with a broader global exposure, diversifying a portfolio with developed and emerging markets and including a mix of large companies with small weights toward developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The volatility in the emerging markets may also be short-term in nature, and investor could let the swings run their course and just diminish his or her position to developing economies for now.
