EEM one of the early entrants to provide exposure to large- and midcap emerging market equities. The fund matches the market well. In fact, it uses a similar, albeit narrower version of our MSCI benchmark. The main difference is that the fund does not go as far down the market-cap spectrum as our benchmark, ignoring many small-cap and all micro-cap firms. Still, the coverage of the space is excellent. Since it follows an MSCI index, EEM counts South Korea as emerging, while FTSE-based rival VWO does not.
