emerging market ETF with a dividend yield! I am concerned about how it appears to be overweight in telecom stocks. However, my biggest concern when investing in emerging markets is lax regulatory standards. I don't really know if the reported numbers are true of not. With a dividend payout, you have added assurance money is coming in.

The developing markets are outpacing the big boys in pretty much all categories. DEM is paying out a whopping 7% in that space. 4 star caps and 5 star Morningstar ratings. What's not to like???

This ETF of emerging market stocks has the following advantages IMHO:

1) Trades at a composite p/e ratio of only 13x.
2) Provides diversifiction away from US $.
3) Is exposed heavily to telcom (23% of portfolio); a recent article in the Economist stated that every 10% of a developing country's population with a mobile phone provides 0.8% of incremental GDP growth.
4) Pays a healthy dividends yield - around 3% (somewhat unusual for emerging market funds - the weighted dividend approach is the signature of fund manager Wisdom Tree).
5) Is less exposed to China - note, I like China, it's just that I already have exposure to the country, so this is a way to play emerging markets without undue country concentration (VWO is nearly 20% in China compared to roughly 5% here).

Emerging markets are undervalued due to their correlation with US western markets - tremendous values.

10% Dividend Yield. P/E of 7. Perfect diversification for portfolios seeking broad exposure to emerging markets at a reasonable cost.

Dividend weighted investing is the way to go for emerging markets.

In markets with poor enforcement, the only proof you have that management is willing to share profits with you is the dividend they pay. I will not buy Emerging market stocks that do not pay dividends.

Dividend weighting works elsewhere too.

I personally own DEM.
