Developed Markets and Emerging Markets

Emerging markets Emerging markets are countries that have developed market characteristics but have not yet developed. It may be a country that is engaged in business in the process of rapid growth and industrialization or a country that conducts a large amount of business activities. According to the GDP after inflation adjustment, the eight emerging and developing countries are BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey).

The share of public debt in emerging countries' GDP is more advantageous than in developed countries. The GDP growth rate also exceeds the developed country market. The increase in consumption expenditure in emerging markets is attributed to technological progress, improvement of education, and expansion of middle class. I personally limit the single asset class to 30%. This is inspired by the basic rules of Warren Buffett. As I am a student, the cash flow generated by liquidity investment is very important to me as most of the savings are spent on investment. I also hope that its value will rise rather than fully focusing on purchasing assets at a lower price.

Since the end of 2016, Emerging Markets (EM) first appeared in advanced markets markets. The asset classes other than petroleum are not in a great year, but EM is at a particularly bad time. The development index remained unchanged until the beginning of the year, and stock prices in emerging markets fell by about 2%. Bonds in emerging countries deteriorate with age, exceeding 5%. Like all other asset classes, stocks and bonds in emerging markets are also cheap. However, the recent weakness has restored the relative value of the stock market, in particular. Based on the P / B ratio (P / B), the transaction price of the MSCI Emerging Index is 30% lower than the MSCI World Index of the developed country market (see attached table). This is the biggest discount since December 2016, which is advantageous compared to 14% on average for 10 years.

One of the easiest ways is an index-based Exchange Mutual Fund (ETF) based on stocks in emerging markets. iShares MSCI Emerging Market ETF tracks the performance of the MSCI Emerging Market Index and provides investors with prices and yields corresponding to the underlying index. iShares Emerging Market ETF was founded in 2003 and is managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors. The ETF can invest at least 90% of its assets in securities included in the underlying asset index and the remaining assets in futures, options and other types of securities.
