As the battle in the Emerging Markets space continues to heat up, Seeking Alpha highlights the favorable performance of PIE as compared to VWO:
Another fund that does not get the credit it deserves for being a thorn in VWO’s side is the PowerShares DWA Emerging Markets Technical Leaders Portfolio (PIE). The knock on PIE compared to VWO is fees. PIE charges 0.9% a year, but the ETF makes up for it. VWO has consistently lagged PIE by margins that are wide enough to justify paying up for the PowerShares offering. Over the past 12, 24, and 36 months and year to date, PIE has bested VWO. Over the past 36 months, PIE has delivered triple the returns of VWO and has been less volatile than the Vanguard fund over that time.
