Goldman Sachs Predicts Stronger Returns for Asian and Emerging Market Stocks
Goldman Sachs projects that Asian and emerging market stocks will outperform the S&P 500 over the next decade, with expected annual returns of 10.3% and 10.9%, respectively, as measured in local currency. In U.S. dollars, those returns are estimated to be 12.6% for Asian stocks and 12.8% for emerging markets.
Investors looking to capitalize on these forecasts can consider the Vanguard FTSE Pacific ETF, which encompasses approximately 2,300 companies in Asia, and the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF, which includes nearly 6,000 companies in emerging markets. Both funds have a modest expense ratio of 0.07%.
In contrast, the S&P 500 is projected to yield an annual return of 6.5%, falling below the global average of 7.7%.
