Emerging Markets are the world’s primary drivers of global growth (and wealth accumulation).

Just over 50% of the world's economic output comes from these countries. 🤯

They play a crucial role in shaping global economic trends...

...but most retirement investors don't fully understand this asset class.

To help break it down for us, Emerging Markets expert and founder of Life + Liberty Indexes, Perth Tolle, stops by to discuss:

➤ What Emerging Markets are and why retirement savers should consider investing in this asset class

➤ Why traditional, low-cost Emerging Market funds may produce lower returns

➤ The pros/cons of excluding countries like China and Russia from an Emerging Markets fund

We also discuss why "freedom" plays an important role in this asset class and how investors can (potentially) use freedom metrics to capture higher returns.
