FYI: If your clients have an emerging markets fund in their portfolio, they probably have a few questions for you. They might, for example, be wondering why you hate them, or whether you're still sniffing glue.
As well they might: The average emerging markets fund has swooned 9.91% this year, according to Morningstar. The rout in emerging markets raises the question: Are they worth the pain? For long-term, buy-and-hold investors, the answer is fairly ambiguous: The good times don't always outweigh the bad. But if you like to buy cheap — and your investors won't smack you for suggesting it — right now might be a good time to look at emerging markets.
