It’s never good when one of the world’s largest economies is struggling. And it’s

been an even bigger headwind for emerging markets than developed markets. As you know, China is the

kingpin of emerging markets.

Due to the size of the country and the amount of people living there, China’s

economy dwarfs other emerging market economies. As a result, weakness in China has also been a headwind for

emerging market ETFs.

Emerging Global Advisors just launched the EM Core ex-China ETF $XCEM. As the name suggests, if invests in stocks from emerging markets except those in

China.

XCEM is designed to track the EGAI Emerging Markets ex-China Index. The

index can track up to 700 emerging market stocks… except, of course,

companies that call China and Hong Kong home.

The countries that get the largest weighting in XCEM are South Korea,

Taiwan, Brazil, India, and South Africa.

One thing’s for sure, Chinese stocks take up bigger portion of broad based

emerging market ETFs today than they did a few years ago.

And many emerging market ETFs are planning to increase their exposure to

China A-Shares that were recently opened up to foreign investors.

Needless to say, that’s not good news if you’re expecting emerging market stocks

outside of China to be the best performing emerging market stocks.

If you’re looking to for a way to invest in emerging market stocks without China,

then XCEM is right for you.
