This Emerging Markets ETF Beat the S&P 500 for 16 Years. Could It Happen Again?
This international ETF is a bit top-heavy with Asian tech majors -- but could be a good choice for patient investors.
Overview
Some of the biggest gains from the U.S.-led artificial intelligence (AI) boom have been going to companies in other countries. Some of the world's best semiconductor stocks are in countries like Taiwan and South Korea. These countries are often categorized as "emerging markets" by international stock ETFs.
If you want to buy some of the world's leading AI chip stocks, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEMKT: EEM) might be a good choice. It holds a portfolio of more than 1,100 international stocks in fast-growing economies beyond America.
Details
Emerging markets stocks are often described as "risky" compared to U.S. stocks. But this emerging markets ETF has a track record of outperforming the S&P 500 index. Could it keep beating U.S. stocks?
