If you look at the leading 10 Exchange Traded Funds so far this year, you will see many of these funds are Emerging Market Funds. In general these funds are doing better then US Funds.

In spite of there strong performance, all Emerging Market Funds are not the same. You need to see what the underlying Equities are that make up these funds, and then look for trends.

The Foreign ETFs that are invested more in manufacturing are doing the best in this area now. This is a shift from what we have seen in the past. The Emerging market ETFs that previously have had the best performance were those that have invested in companies that income was based on commodities, especially oil.

Two of the leading emerging market exchange traded funds are iShares MSCI Brazil (EWZ) and iShares FTSE.XINHUA China 25 Index Fund (FXI). These funds are doing well and institutional investors are still showing confidence in these ETFs. This is a trend that has been developing over the last year.

The sector of Emerging Market Funds that now are showing signs of pullback are ETFs that invest in companies based on commodities. These commodities have been primarily oil and gold. Emerging market funds that have invested in this area have headed straight up in the last few years. At this point it looks like these funds are taking a breather.

One up and coming fund is iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (EWJ). Japans economy is picking up and also giving a boost to other Asian stocks. Institutional investors are showing interest in this fund.
