Traditional emerging market (EM) ETFs have a 25%-30% exposure to China, which underperformed in 2023. In 2024, investors may “unbundle” their EM exposure by using EM ex-China ETFs or active ETFs that dynamically calibrate their China exposure. One name to consider is the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (EMXC), notes Aniket Ullal, VP, ETF Data & Analytics at CFRA Research.

In 2011, entrepreneur and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen famously argued that “software is eating the world.” Twelve years later, that has proved prescient, although Andreessen likely underestimated how narrowly concentrated tech growth would be, writes Aniket Ullal, VP, ETF Data & Analytics at CFRA Research.
Investor sentiment in the first six months of 2023 was dominated by macro uncertainties, such as the regional banking crisis, rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, and persistently high inflation. The overhang from some of these issues continues to persist and flows into ETFs this year have been relatively muted, explains Aniket Ullal, VP, ETF Data & Analytics at CFRA Research.
