FYI: Looking for a different way to play emerging markets exchange-traded funds? The Alpha Architect Freedom 100 Emerging Markets ETF (FRDM) that launched Thursday might be your ticket.
The fund tracks the Life + Liberty Freedom 100 Emerging Markets Index that starts with a universe 26 emerging-market countries. From there, it screens them for country-level market capitalization, assigns freedom scores for countries based on 79 quantified freedom variables, and excludes companies with 20 percent or more state ownership.
