VanEck launches VEEM ETF targeting analyst sentiment to outperform MSCI Emerging Markets index.

VanEck introduced the VEEM ETF, which aims to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets index by focusing on stocks with improving analyst sentiment rather than market cap weighting. This active strategy differs from traditional broad EM funds like VWO and IEMG, which have long track records and deep liquidity. VEEM is new with limited trading history, so investors are essentially buying the concept and VanEck's reputation, not proven performance. It suits investors looking for a small satellite position to complement a core EM allocation, but those seeking simple, low-cost exposure should stick with established ETFs until VEEM proves its strategy over time.

The Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund ETF (VWO) holds a market cap of $168.50 billion and sees a daily trading volume of 4,745,821 on Pluang as of September 18, 2026, 23:51 WIB. Meanwhile, the iShares Core MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (IEMG) has a market cap of $159.64 billion with a volume of 5,656,859, showing full buy order activity on Pluang. These established ETFs contrast with the new VEEM ETF, which is still building its track record and liquidity.
