  The sad state of emerging markets
  So far in 2013, emerging-market stocks have been doing terribly. Looking at the most popular exchange-traded funds tracking emerging markets, both iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (NYSEMKT: EEM  ) and Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets (NYSEMKT: VWO  ) have suffered losses this year of more than 10%, compared to double-digit percentage advances for U.S. benchmarks.

  The closely watched iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) finished Wednesday at $44.76, its best close since January 2013.

  In filings it was reported that Bridgewater owned just under $3 billion in the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (NYSEMKT: EEM), $3.3 billion in the SPDR S&P 500 Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY)and about $3.6 bil! lion in the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEMKT: VWO). The Vanguard fund, for example, has an expense cost of an extremely low 0.18%, which like all funds is deducted from the net asset value. Clearly Bridgewater is content in using passive index ETF strategies to gain global equity coverage and save money on managing the position.

  Yet an interesting thing happened. While the news stories have gone from bad to worse, most emerging markets have been quietly enjoying a rally since early February. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is up about 7%, and the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (EZA) is up fully 17%.
