Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Large Company Index ETF

FNDE

Market cap $7.77B

Making its debut on 08/13/2013, smart beta exchange traded fund Schwab Fundamental Emerging Markets Equity ETF (FNDE) provides investors broad exposure to the Broad Emerging Market ETFs category of the market.

FNDE stands out among emerging market ETFs with its fundamentally weighted, value-tilted approach focusing on revenue, cash flow, and shareholder returns. The ETF offers a higher yield and attractive valuation, but its China overweight and India underweight pose unique risks amid geopolitical uncertainty. Performance has been solid, especially in milder markets, with less severe drawdowns and better risk management than market-cap weighted peers.

Emerging markets offer attractive valuations, diversification, and growth potential versus pricey US stocks, making FNDE a timely consideration for portfolio balance. FNDE tracks a fundamentally weighted index, providing value and yield exposure, with a high allocation to China and Taiwan and a 4.21% yield. The ETF has outperformed most emerging market peers over longer periods, with lower P/E and P/B ratios than US large caps, and a reasonable 0.39% expense ratio.
