Invest money in emerging markets

If you want to invest your money for the long term, it can make perfect sense to invest in an ETF consisting of shares of companies from emerging markets, for example. Compared to ETFs that contain shares of companies from developed countries, emerging market ETFs usually fluctuate more strongly and more frequently. In good phases, they often rise more. In return, they also often fall more in bad phases.

In the past, it was also sometimes the case that emerging market indices performed well during periods when developed market indices performed weaker. However, in the case of the current Corona pandemic, which is affecting the whole world, it is hard to predict. What could happen, however, is that prices on stock exchanges in China, for example, will rise. Since China is one of the emerging markets, this could have a positive impact on some emerging market indices.
