3 Emerging Markets ETFs to Maximize Exposure to High-Potential CountriesAuthored by Nathan Reiff. Article Posted: 5/4/2026. 
Key Points
- Emerging markets may be increasingly attractive if concerns about inflation, the price and availability of oil, and interest rates continue to mount in the United States.
- ETFs are among the most direct and efficient ways to gain exposure to emerging market stocks, and a range of country-specific funds highlight different parts of the world.
- FLBR, VNM, and EWY are three stand-out EM funds focused on Brazil, Vietnam, and South Korea, respectively.

Despite a downward trend over several weeks at the start of the year, the S&P 500 has surged again in spring 2026, reaching fresh all-time highs in the process. Still, even the most bullish investors may be wondering how long the trend can continue, given the prolonged war in Iran and its effects on the global oil market—not to mention preexisting factors like inflation, aggressive interest rate hikes, and more. That is all to say that now may be a good time to consider diversifying geographically and building non-U.S. exposure. Even though the market seems to have new momentum, maintaining access to companies outside of the United States is a good way to help protect against country-specific risks. Emerging markets (EM) can be a particularly attractive area to explore as well, given their strong growth potential and strengthening consumer trends. Of course, relatively unproven names in other parts of the world can also present new risks that investors should keep in mind. The exchange-traded funds (ETFs) below may be a good place to begin an EM search. A Low-Cost, High-Momentum Entry Point to the Brazilian Market
Brazil has the largest economy in Latin America and grew by 2.3% in 2025 despite interest rate headwinds. The Franklin FTSE Brazil ETF (NYSEARCA: FLBR) is one of the easiest ways for U.S. investors to access this market. One factor distinguishing FLBR from other single-country LatAm ETFs is its expense ratio: the fund costs investors an annual fee of only 0.19%. In exchange, investors may have to give up a bit of fund size and liquidity, as FLBR is smaller and has lower trading volume than some of its larger rivals. Still, with $624 million in managed assets and a one-month average trading volume slightly under 500,000, this should not have a major impact. When it comes to its portfolio, FLBR targets nearly 70 larger Brazilian firms across industries, though financials, energy, utilities, and materials names dominate. A handful of large firms have outsized positions, with the largest name representing close to 12% of assets. For investors who do not mind a bit of portfolio concentration in this way, FLBR's recent track record demonstrates the effectiveness of its approach: the fund has returned about 30% year-to-date (YTD) and 45% over the last year. Rare Vietnam-Focused Fund Seeks to Maintain the Past Year's MomentumThe VanEck Vietnam ETF (BATS: VNM) is not as cheap as FLBR—it has an annual fee of 0.68%, more than three times that of its single-country peer—but it is one of only a small handful of ETFs focused on this Southeast Asian nation. Vietnam's economic growth is robust, climbing by nearly 7.7% in Q1 2026 despite the adverse impacts of the conflict in the Middle East. VNM aims to capture that momentum. Though it has essentially traded flat YTD, it is up almost 60% over the last 12 months. This is thanks to a basket of close to 60 names leaning heavily on financials, real estate, and consumer staples companies. Like FLBR above, VNM's portfolio is dominated by a couple of large firms with outsized positions. Its asset base and trading volume are roughly in line with FLBR as well, although VNM has slightly lower assets at around $568 million and somewhat higher average trading volume. Excellent Momentum From a South Korea-Focused Large- and Mid-Cap FundSouth Korea does not appear on every list of emerging market economies, but the country nonetheless shares some of the appealing growth qualities of more common EMs. Among the ETFs focused on South Korea, the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSEARCA: EWY) stands out for its liquidity—the fund is close to $21 billion in size and has one-month average trading volumes around 17.5 million. With a focus on large- and mid-cap Korean companies, EWY holds more than 80 firms, though it's important for investors to note that just two names make up about 45% of the entire portfolio. This may not be an issue, however, if EWY can maintain its incredible pace of growth into the second half of 2026: the fund is up over 65% YTD and an impressive 190% over the last 12 months. Given this notable performance, investors may be more willing to pay the 0.59% annual fee on EWY. The fact that the fund also pays a dividend yield of 1.3% is another point in its favor. |
