Frontier & Emerging Market Stock Index

This post is a continuously updated index for all stocks covered under our EM Stock Pick Tear Sheets.

This post is an index for all stocks covered and tagged (1,400+ total tagged stocks plus additional stocks not tagged) under our EM Stock Pick Tear Sheets or other posts and broken up as follows:

• China, Hong Kong & Macau Stock Index

• Japan, Korea & Taiwan Stock Index

• Oceania & Southeast Asia Stock Index

• South & Central Asia Stock Index

• Africa & Middle East Stock Index

• Emerging & Eastern Europe Stock Index

• North & Latin America Stock Index

* FYI to any other Substack writers: I found out the hard way that when a post reaches a certain length (characters, etc.), you will be unable to save it or rather it will act like its saving (but its not actually saving). Therefore, I had to break up the index into several posts by region.

The indices are organized as follows:

• Region and country.

• 🌐🌏 etc. This is fairly subjective as, for example, many stocks are part of global supply chains rather than purely domestic companies.

• 🏛️ State owned, controlled, or influenced companies.

• 👼🏻 ESG friendly stock e.g. renewable energy. This is fairly subjective.

• 🅿️ Preference shares available (Note: I don’t see a comprehensive list of preference shares or preferred stocks readily available on the Internet…).

• A very short description of the stock with links to the IR page and stock quote(s) on Yahoo! Finance or other sites.

• Any Wikipedia page (denoted by 🇼) and a Substack stock tag link (denoted by 🏷️) linked to any post under EM Stock Pick Tear Sheets.

• Titles linked to any good or in-depth research from funds etc covering the stock or our posts (denoted by ✅).

And as always, this post is provided for informational purposes only (and to make your life easier…). It does not constitute investment advice and/or a recommendation…

The goal is to build up a database or index of international, frontier, and emerging market stocks that have research available or are owned by international stock funds.

This means there is considerable room for improvement for these index posts over the coming months e.g. adding an icon link to any Wikipedia page (e.g. via an icon) as such pages usually mention any scandals or problems a stock may have add; tagging and adding additional stocks from 2023 EM Fund Stock Picks posts; organizing stocks by industry for countries that have many stocks covered, etc.
