Emerging Market ETFs Could Pick Up in 2019

Additionally, the something like the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity ETF (GEM) provides a smart beta or multi-factor approach to the emerging markets. GEM tries to reflect the performance of the Goldman Sachs ActiveBeta Emerging Markets Equity Index, which includes exposure to developing market stocks but selects components based on good value, strong momentum, high quality and low volatility.

The WisdomTree Emerging Currency Strategy Fund (NYSEArca: CEW) provides exposure to U.S. dollar moves against a diversified basket of emerging market currencies.

Additionally, the VanEck Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (NYSEArca: EMLC), WisdomTree Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund (NYSEArca: ELD), SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Emerging Markets Local Bond ETF (NYSEArca: EBND) and iShares Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (NYSEArca: LEMB) all include access to emerging market debt that are denominated in their local currencies, which should provide an extra kick if emerging currencies appreciate against the USD.
