DGS - Want to Invest in Emerging Markets but Don't Know How? Try This ETF.

The idea of adding emerging market exposure to your portfolio sounds great in theory. These up-and-coming countries' economies and companies aren't tightly tethered to the rest of the world's, giving investors a chance to further diversify their holdings. Emerging markets also offer above-average growth potential.
In reality, though, this arena is difficult to navigate, and often yields subpar returns anyway. That's the case even if you're buying and holding emerging markets exchange-traded funds (ETFs), most of which are highly exposed to an ever-unpredictable Chinese equity market.
There are ways to work around this common problem, however, without abandoning ETFs or instead opting for individual overseas stocks. The WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Fund (NYSEMKT: DGS) is a nice (and often overlooked) way of adding foreign holdings to your mix; the beefy dividend it pays is just a little gravy.
