"While investors have been using investments in S&P 500 ETFs like Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: VOO) for significant wealth building, it's easy to overlook the fact that there are literally thousands of companies from emerging markets that are key to the success of top US S&P 500 stocks. For example, Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE: TSM) is essential to the success of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) since it is the sole chip foundry for all of those companies' devices."
"QEMM's benchmark index is the MSCI Emerging Markets (EM) Factor Mix A-Series Index. It is intended to track large and mid-cap stocks in 24 different emerging market nations. The index is designed to deploy a mix of value, low volatility and quality in its selection assessments. It equally weighs these three (3) MSCI factor indices in one composite listing: The MSCI EM Value Weighted Index The MSCI EM Minimum Volatility Index The MSCI EM Quality Index"
S&P 500 ETFs such as Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) concentrate on U.S. large caps and omit thousands of emerging-market companies that support top U.S. stocks. Emerging-market firms like Taiwan Semiconductor and Samsung supply critical components yet often lack inclusion in S&P 500 ETFs. The SPDR MSCI Emerging Markets Strategic Factors ETF (QEMM) holds 804 stocks across 24 emerging-market nations and blends value, low-volatility, and quality factors equally via the MSCI EM Factor Mix A-Series Index. QEMM has delivered a year-to-date return near 20.99% versus VOO's 15–16% performance. QEMM is managed by State Street and launched June 4, 2014. Geopolitical analysis plays a key role in emerging-market ETF success.
