I like EM smallcaps, $SPYX. Better diversification, performance, less sovereigns, more actual EM exposure than EM IMI. And I don't like putting money into warmongering antiWest states either.
@Mcl1991 That's right. However, I believe that the costs are justified, since it is much more complex and expensive to get the EM SCs. In my opinion, the difference in performance more than compensates for the costs.
