This small-cap EM-themed ETF offers investors a dividend yield of almost 4%.

The efficiency ratio at 0.68% is on the higher side by general ETF standards but is in line with other EM-themed ETFs.

Holdings are well-diversified across stocks and sectors; dominant regions include Taiwan, Korea, and China all of whom have favorable economic prospects.

That said, it’s a good time to seek yield in other parts of the world, such as emerging markets (EM), via the Invesco Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt ETF (PCY A)
