With a 21.9% exposure to China, investors are pulling funds as the country struggles with a property market downturn and slowing factory activity. Meanwhile, ex-China emerging market ETFs like the EMXC gained popularity, drawing $1.4 billion in August. #finance #news #BlackRock #EmergingMarkets #ChinaEconomy Source:- https://lnkd.in/gh6PvpyV

Investors are making big bets on Emerging Markets ex China, and for good reasons. With $3.8 billion flowing into the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex China ETF (EMXC), the largest inflows for any emerging markets ETF by far this year, it has quietly become one of the largest EM ETFs. EMXC’s growth suggests that investors are interested in putting money to work in emerging markets stocks, but they don’t want to deal with the risks of China, where there is a devaluation of the CNY looming. Unsurprisingly, this is supported by analysts where a rebound in Emerging Markets ex China earnings seems like the consensus bet 2024. #ETF #EMXC

One of our favourite long term charts maps Emerging Markets relative to Developed Markets over the past 40 years. We overlay the USD (inverted). Depending on the benchmark, China accounts for >20% of the market weight. If overnight policy decisions give some momentum to a region that has been devoid of any for most of the past 10 years, perhaps the fight between Emerging and Developed Markets becomes a bit fairer. There have been too many false dawns in China to get too far ahead of things, but the market today voted in volume. The most popular Chinese ETF listed in the US (FXI US) traded the most volume in its 15 year history. All previous high volume days have occurred at or close to major turning points. We will watch with interest how things unfold from here #macro #technicalanalysis #emergingmarkets #china #fxi

Bought more shares of Freedom Emerging Market ETF. Prices fell back on no real news. Appears euphoria of China stimulus wearing off. So decided to add a few more shares to average out the costs. Looking to build meaningful exposure to Emerging Market space with out China so this ETF IMO thinking may fit the bill. Currently break-even on the position.

In the institutional landscape for the MSCI South Korea ETFs, there have been some significant moves in recent months. One notable trend is a considerable shift in fund flows: the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY), for example, experienced a **1-year inflow of $1.13 billion** but also saw short-term outflows, such as **$116.97 million** in the last month and **$505.47 million** in the past 3 months. These flows indicate a mixed sentiment among institutional investors, with both buying and selling activity【24†source】. Among notable players, **Goldman Sachs** has predicted a potential rebound for South Korean ETFs in 2024, driven by expectations of **54% corporate earnings growth** in the country【25†source】. This optimism could be swaying some institutional investors to accumulate positions in anticipation of this recovery. However, institutions like **BlackRock** and other global asset managers have been adjusting their portfolios amid volatility in South Korean markets. Some have reduced exposure due to concerns over geopolitical tensions and fluctuating technology sector performance, which is highly represented in these ETFs【24†source】【25†source】. These mixed flows reflect a dynamic environment, with institutions either positioning for a rebound or hedging against further risk in the short term.
