Guide to Emerging Market Indexes
Make emerging market indices part of your research regimenMany financial institutions build and maintain emerging market indices. An emerging markets index is essentially a list of companies representative of the companies in a given region. Some companies issue broad emerging market indices that include companies from many of the countries, others are specific and hone in on a given country.
Emerging market indexes always include:
1. A list of countries involved
2. A specific set of companies included in the emerging market index
3. Collective financial performance of the group
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Search a list of emerging market indexes
There's a long list of companies which build indexes for developing markets. They are typically the financial institutions which sell mutual funds, in fact there is a specific type of mutual fund which has a value that rises and falls with the value of a given emerging market index. Vanguard, Fidelity and Morgan Stanley all offer emerging markets index funds based on the indices they have created.
I recommend:
MSCI Barra keeps a list of emerging market indexes and their performance updated regularly. A search for the term "emerging markets" on Yahoo! Finance will also bring up many options for specific indices.
Invest in emerging market indexes through index funds
A good way to find an individual company which is showing promise is to look at what is included in financial institutions' indices. Look at the Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index (VEIEX), where, for example, the top 10 holdings include well-known companies but also a whole bunch of unknown companies.
I recommend:
Vanguard lists more information about its VEIEX fund on its website along with information on other index funds. Also look at Fidelity's funds and Forbes.com for up-to-date news on emerging markets.
Determine a narrow or broad approach for emerging market indices
A developing markets index is most helpful if you're looking for specific information. There are indices specific to the overall markets but also for individual countries. Morgan Stanley Capital International (MCSI) lists 25 country indices: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey.
I recommend:
Regional indices and country-specific indices offer a closer look at the companies located in a country. For news on some of the countries, Bloomberg offers a wealth of information about emerging market indexes and the corresponding countries. Morgan Stanley Capital International lists prices, alerts and news.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Economics and politics impact emerging markets. A political upheaval in a developing country can throw the entire economy into turmoil and make a strong company look weak. Be aware of the political issues when researching.
