Is it recommended to go long-term with emerging market investments?
Asked 4 years ago
I was looking for an emerging market and just haven't found any funds that spark my interest. Is it best to go for long-term or short-term on these investments, and are there any good ETFs that I should know of?

Unfortunately, during market meltdowns, typically one of the first investments to experience an immense selloff is the emerging market. This was evident throughout the February/March 2020 financial crisis.
That said, it can be challenging to get in at a good price because the EM investment vehicles have skyrocketed on optimism in the post-coronavirus recovery.
So, here are three of my top picks if I'm going into the emerging market sector right now:
iShares MSCI Turkey ETF (TUR)
- 06/09: $23.37
- Yield: 0.99%
- YTD Return: -12.84%
Direxion Daily Russia Bull 2X Shares (RUSL)
- 06/09: $30.10
- Yield: 1.48%
- YTD Return: +39.19%
Schwab Emerging Markets Equity ETF (SCHE)
- 06/09: $33.13
- Yield: 1.99%
- YTD Return: +8.32%
Also, as a piece of advice, if you invest in emerging markets, it is best to comb through their leading industries (energy or agriculture, for example) and political stability.
