XCEM

crazybutthole

Its fine to get whichever you feel comfy with or even mix it up If you want to add a little more diversity - you can look at something that has international exposure like IEFA(International large cap companies in developed countries mostly europe) or FRDM (small cap companies from countries that are friendly with USA) or XCEM (emerging market ETF that does not include china) Sorry all my international picks exclude china because reasons....(murica) Don't trust the CCP. But whatever Good luck to you

The mindset shared by most is that inflation is eating the dollar and the only place to secure your fortune is in the market. I've got 30% invested in VTI, XCEM (Emerging Markets), and XAR (Defense ETF). The rest in SGOV until the Market corrects. I sleep better not having everything invested, just enough to make it through tough times... could be tomorrow or two years from now. Nobody knows.

XCEM is another emerging market ETF that doesn't include China.

FRDM is very legitimate. The founder is Perth Tolle and the fund is whitelisted via Alpha Architect's 'ETF Architect'. Alpha Architect and ETF Architect are run by veterans. So you have a fund run by veterans that believe in the values of the fund as well. And Perth Tolle is incredibly passionate about this fund. Recently interviewed on Bloomberg's July 1st episode https://www.bloomberg.com/podcasts/series/master-in-business She was also featured on Morningstar and many other media outlets. https://www.morningstar.com/articles/1082597/the-world-is-waking-up-to-autocracy-risk-thanks-to-russia-china [here's a backtest ](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&timePeriod=4&startYear=1985&firstMonth=1&endYear=2022&lastMonth=12&calendarAligned=true&includeYTD=false&initialAmount=10000&annualOperation=0&annualAdjustment=0&inflationAdjusted=true&annualPercentage=0.0&frequency=4&rebalanceType=1&absoluteDeviation=5.0&relativeDeviation=25.0&leverageType=0&leverageRatio=0.0&debtAmount=0&debtInterest=0.0&maintenanceMargin=25.0&leveragedBenchmark=false&reinvestDividends=true&showYield=false&showFactors=false&factorModel=3&benchmark=-1&benchmarkSymbol=IEMG&portfolioNames=false&portfolioName1=Portfolio+1&portfolioName2=Portfolio+2&portfolioName3=Portfolio+3&symbol1=FRDM&allocation1_1=100&symbol2=XCEM&allocation2_2=100&symbol3=AVEM&allocation3_3=100) showing how in recent times when other funds, more exposed to country risks, drewdown -FRDM was able to outperform them, one of very few Emerging Markets funds maintaining positive nominal returns through the recent couple of years. Note: for the factor regressors out there, note that the difference in country allocation alone makes any regression full of noise. That's before considering the short time period available for a regression.

Try EMXC, XCEM, ECOW, FRDM, KEMX, FM, or EMFM depending on your personal tastes. Note however that in a lot of countries there is no such thing as publicly traded companies. Depending on the place, almost all companies are either state owned or privately owned. So your not getting a fair cross-sectional representation of the actual economy in the nation. Not finical advice. Do your own research.

I'm drunk and was going to go to sleep. All the same, here you go: >KEMX tracks the investment results of an index focused on large-cap and mid-cap companies within emerging market countries, excluding China. [https://www.etf.com/KEMX](https://www.etf.com/KEMX) ​ >XCEM tracks a market-cap-weighted index that provides broad equity exposure to emerging markets excluding China. [https://www.etf.com/XCEM](https://www.etf.com/XCEM) ​ >FDRM tracks an index that selects and weights exposure to emerging market equities based on personal and economic freedom metrics. [https://www.etf.com/FRDM](https://www.etf.com/FRDM) ​ >EMXC tracks a market-cap- weighted index of emerging-market firms, excluding China. The index covers 85% of the universe by market cap.

I wish there were more ex-PRC ETF options. I think XCEM is what I carry in my HSA for international exposure. Hopefully we’ll start to see more.

So my emerging markets are : FLIN 10% XCEM 30% cheap fees So this gives me roughly 15% exposure to Taiwan, Korea. Big part of it goes to semiconductors. Stable, ever growing business. And totally exposure to India around 13%. With my logic strongest players in emerging market. Taiwanese, Korean hard working skills, saving culture. Stable forex reserve. And India with her massive potencial. I doubt they will be so successful as Chinese are in the last 40 years. However in case they are, I don't wanna miss out a bet. Probably when it comes to 30% in s&p 500 will replace with small cap and middle cap us stocks. Want do have tilt of good factor etf as well Am in the game for at least next 25 years

There are a few ETF's that specifically exclude China. I've got a small position in XCEM.
