Emerging market equity indices have shifted dramatically over the past two decades: China — which was barely represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index in 2000 — grew to become its largest constituent, accounting for roughly 30% of the index at its peak before declining as Chinese equities fell out of favour. Today's emerging markets are dominated by technology, financials, and consumer companies rather than the commodities and industrials that characterised the asset class in the early 2000s. Despite higher short-term volatility, emerging market equities have historically delivered stronger long-term returns than developed markets when measured over full economic cycles.
