Current cycle zone
You are 9% below the all-time high, and 90% above the low of the cycle. The signal comes from where you sit in that range.
The floor of the cycle is at $34.21; the ceiling, at $71.57. The closer to the floor, the better the spot to build in slowly.
It has no intrinsic value from fundamentals — the range comes from price highs and lows. The final call is yours; buying gradually (DCA) means a little at a time.
The business
One single basket to own a small slice of the economies that are still growing.
EEM is a basket that tracks an emerging-markets stock index (the MSCI family). It brings together hundreds of large and mid-sized companies from countries like China, India, Taiwan, South Korea, or Brazil. By buying a single share, you get instant access to dozens of developing economies, without having to pick company by company.
Its structural advantage is easy, diversified access to a group of countries that would be hard to assemble on your own, with strong ease of buying and selling (lots of liquidity). In a single transaction you get exposure to many markets that would otherwise be complicated to reach.
Catalysts and risks
Structural growth of the middle class and consumption in developing countries.
Commodity cycles and a weak dollar, which tend to favor these markets.
Global capital flows looking to diversify outside the already highly developed countries.
Heavy concentration in a few countries and sectors (especially Asian tech and China), so it's not as diversified as it looks.
It's a very cyclical vehicle: in moments of global fear it usually falls harder than developed markets.
It charges an annual management fee and adds currency and political risk from many countries at once.
Charlie's note
“In a fund like this, discipline and keeping costs low matter more than trying to guess the best moment to get in. If you decide to get exposure to emerging markets, do it thinking in years, not weeks.”
