Emerging Market ETFs. Are They Right For You?



30 Emerging Markets ETFs: Risk vs. Reward by Hao Jin, CFA

Returns from emerging markets stocks are highly correlated to those from U.S. stocks. Also, many people believed that those countries’ growth prospects were hardly a secret, and they had been more than priced into stocks. Still, from price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio point of view (a ratio used to determine a stock's value while taking into account earnings growth, according to Investopedia), emerging countries’ PEG is still better than SPY’s.

From a total of 835 ETFs, I filtered out those ETFs with net assets less than $100 million and average volume less than 100,000. Below are 30 emerging market ETFs, along with their PEG and Price to Cash Flow (CF) ratio.

I haven't had a chance to read all the replies and i have to jet from the office... I suggest marketing where ever your Target Market congregates. If it's a forum of concerned parents - go there. Strike up a deal with the forum owner (JV) and have him promote it to the list of members (Integration Marketing). If you want to go with Forums then i would partner with a parent who is a frequent poster/moderator on a particular Target Market Forum and have him/her add your link to their signature. That was just a thought but it's not as intense once you get buy in from the Forum owner or high ranked poster/moderator. Hope that sparks some new ideas.
