EMGF

EMGF is a smart-beta emerging markets ETF that picks stocks based on four style factors: value, quality, momentum, and relatively low size. Looking at its dividend payout year-over-year, I noticed that the EM ETF exhibits impressive, double-digit dividend growth. The ETF's stock-picking methodology and underlying holdings are strong, giving me confidence that solid dividend growth will continue. A more attractive entry point is likely to present itself in the coming months or years, though.

Despite a growing economic and technological decoupling between China and the West, the financial divide is actually shrinking.China's bond market - now the second largest in the world - has seen increased foreign participation, especially in its government bond market, where foreign ownership now exceeds 9%, up from a negligible level just a few years ago.The unknowns of the post-COVID-19 landscape demand greater attention to portfolio construction, and investors may wish to consider alternative paths to a more efficient portfolio and a diversified stream of returns.
