iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETF

EEMS

Market cap $395M

When it comes to equities exposure, U.S. large-caps continue to garner the lion's share of capital allocations. However, emerging markets (EM) could finally be in the throes of a comeback.

Overseas markets, particularly emerging markets, are expected to offer the best stock returns over the next decade. EM stocks trade at historically low valuations compared to the US and other international stocks.

Emerging market small-cap stocks have performed well in recent years and after the 2009 financial crisis. iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETF is a good investment option with reasonable fees and unique industry exposure. EEMS provides strong exposure to IT and consumer stocks and has a lower weighting in financials compared to other emerging market ETFs.
