Emerging: the cheapest index funds & ETFs (lowest TER)
Ranked by TER alone, cheapest first: HSBC MSCI Emerging Markets (HSBC) leads with a 0.15% fee. A low TER isn't the only thing that matters — also check what index a fund tracks before choosing — but it's the single biggest drag on long-term returns you can actually control.

Frequently asked questions
How is this ranking built?+
A single, explicit, objective criterion: the TER (annual fee) each fund reports, sorted from lowest to highest in the Emerging category. No sponsored placements, no editorial picks.
Is the cheapest / highest-return fund always the best choice?+
Not necessarily. TER is the biggest cost you control, but the index tracked, currency, domicile and how you can actually buy it also matter. Use this ranking as a starting point, not the final answer.
How many funds are in this Emerging ranking?+
26 — every fund and ETF in the Emerging category in our catalog whose data we're confident is accurate and current. Quality over an arbitrary count.
