EEM Vs. XCEM: Excluding China Still Pays Off
I compare the Columbia EM Core ex-China ETF and iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF for current holdings and performance. EEM is heavily weighted to Asia, with Information Technology and Financials as top sectors, and its top 20 holdings comprise 39% of the portfolio. XCEM excludes China and Hong Kong, tracking an in-house index with up to 700 companies, market-cap weighted and rebalanced quarterly.
