Emerging Markets

Any decision regarding investments should be made with the guidance of a financial professional.

5%: Average investor's allocation to emerging market equity

While the average investor's portfolio has increased the allocation to emerging
markets, it still only holds 5% in emerging market equity according to Lipper. This allocation is considerably underweight the 12% that emerging markets represent in world market capitalization. Remember that each investor's ideal recommendation varies based on age, risk aversion and time horizon, and any decision regarding investments should be made with the guidance of a financial professional.
