EEM - iShares' EEM Is A Tad Too Expensive For Emerging Market Exposure

April, 16 2021 01:34 AM iShares MSCI Emerging Index Fund

iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is a well-established emerging markets fund with assets exceeding $31B.
The fund pays semi-annual dividends (twice per year) and has recovered strongly after the 2020 pandemic slump.
Emerging markets have underperformed developed markets of late, but could come back big if they can continue producing and can reopen their economies.
On the downside, EEM has a steep expense ratio of 0.70% and its portfolio does not include any small-cap equities.
Despite EEM's strong operating results and large size, there are better investments out there to gain emerging market exposure.
