Small cap value seems to be reflecting the animal spirits

What's least correlated, emerging market value?

Anybody rebalance between them?

But how does currency factor in

Everyone and their grandma tilts small-value, nowadays. The historic SV "premium" may therefore prove to have been an overcrowded trade looking back 10, 20 years from now.

EM's have potential for huge gains because they have potential for huge busts and drawdowns. It is commonplace to predict that "China is the future", for example, but there is some deep systemic risks built into investing in a state economy that's run by the corrupt, decadent, inefficient, antiquated CCP. Will China be such a great place for your capital if 100 million Chinese peasant-slaves decide to host a revolution of their own? Maybe not.
