Jack Bowman upgraded the Freedom 100 Emerging Markets ETF (FRDM) to a strong buy, highlighting its lower valuation metrics and strategic country allocations compared to the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM), which retains a buy rating. FRDM has a lower trailing P/E, price-to-book, and price-to-sales ratios, with nearly half its holdings in firms trading below 15 times earnings. It reduces exposure to China, India, and certain Middle Eastern countries, reallocating to markets like Poland, Chile, and Malaysia, while still holding major tech firms like TSMC and Samsung. Despite recent market volatility, especially in global chip stocks affecting Korea-heavy FRDM, the analyst sees this as a buying opportunity for investors seeking emerging market exposure aligned with Western business values, noting both ETFs are near oversold levels.
