What are your thoughts on emerging markets ETFs?

I’m looking to invest in emerging markets ETFs, and am considering EIMI (I’m currently doing a quarterly deposit into IWDA via SCB). Would love to hear if anyone who’s currently investing into EIMI has any opinions on it? Am open to hearing about other emerging market ETFs like VWO too. Thanks in advance! Cheers.

Emerging Markets are (often/sometimes) marked by high gross domestic growth rates, but think of political and currency risks. Better stick to China only out of the EM universe (ETFs) as a part of Your total portfolio.

Theory says that EM should because of better diversification be integrated into portfolios, I am sceptical because of the mentioned risks. Better stick to the following best functioning 'western style" economies (plus China because of it's world co-dominance potential). These are:

U.S., Canada, Sweden, Switzerland. Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Germany, Singapore.

In this chart you can see, what the performance of 3 large and unexpensive EM ETFs was versus SP500 index and a World Index ETF (VT):
