I'm on the prowl for a new Vanguard Fund to buy. I will be contributing through my Simple IRA. I came across "Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund Investor Shares (VEIEX)".
I see that the holdings are concentrated in Korea, China, Taiwan, Brazil and Russia. what makes these "emerging' markets??
I see some pretty sideways prices for about 5 yrs from 98 til 2003, then an explosion which hasnt slowed down. My gut says to stay away because it cant continue on in this manner, right? lol...if we only knew
I've recently looked my asset allocation for the first time, and realized I'm a lot more conservative than many of my peers (im 24 yrs old).
Right now 65% of my money is in an FDIC insured savings yielding 5.4%. The other 35% is in Vanguard LifeStrategy 2045 (2 separate IRA's).
I figure it's time to step up the risk/equities, so I'm looking for a good candidate. I'll be DCA into this account monthy for the next 20 or so years,if all goes as planned. Any other suggestions/comments?
