Top Energy Stocks To Watch For 2019

tags:HERO,TRIP,CPRX,

Whether it is on the demand side in China, India, South Korea, or on the production side, in Brazil, Russia and more, emerging markets exchange traded funds have some exposure to oil prices. While the MSCI Emerging Markets Index allocates just 7.29 percent of its weight to the energy sector, oil prices play a part in the benchmark's performance.

For example, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index allocates almost 45 percent of its combined weight to China and South Korea, both of which are net oil importers. The index devotes 10.59 percent of its geographic exposure to Brazil and Russia, which are major crude producers.

Some emerging markets ETFs, including the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Fund (NYSE: DEM), are better-suited for taking advantage of rising oil prices.

What Happened

The $2.25-billion DEM tracks the yield-weighted WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Index.

“The WT EM High Dividend Index was launched in 2007 to track the performance of the highest dividend-paying companies in the region,” WisdomTree said in a recent note.

“The index weights companies that rank in the highest 30 percent by dividend yield using annual cash dividends paid. Since its inception more than 10 years ago, the WT EM High Dividend Index has outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, by 151 basis points annually — raising the question about whether an investor really needs an active manager to outperform in this 'inefficient' asset class.”
