Visual Risk Analysis Of Emerging Europe ETFs

Wed, 27 Mar 2013 04:00:10 -0400

The ever-expanding ETF universe has spawned an array of instruments that have allowed investors of all walks and styles to shed their home country bias. Through the purchase of a single ticker, investors can now easily tap into dozens of markets overseas that were previously too difficult to reach for most. As a result, foreign equity and emerging markets ETFs have found their way into countless portfolios as investors geographically diversify their holdings while the global recovery picks up steam [see 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn]. While many have been quick to add exposure to China, Brazil and India, among other big-name emerging markets, one particular corner of the developing world hasn’t received nearly as much attention in the financial media headlines. With most of Europe getting crushed by the weight of its own, debt it’s no surprise that few investors have taken a long hard look at investment opportunities across emerging [...]

Ultimate Guide To Emerging Europe ETFs

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 07:00:36 -0400

In a global economy, where what happens in one country can have ripple effects around the world, investors are discovering the value of investing outside the United States. Emerging markets are countries that are in a strong growth phase, as opposed to more established nations that see more gradual growth. There are several benefits to investing in emerging markets; while this segment of the market is still viewed as risky, the higher returns often counter-balance this risk for investors seeking to jump-start their portfolio. The returns are also not necessarily correlated to the U.S. market, providing a diversification benefit [see also Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. While India, Brazil, China and other Asian countries usually receive the most press in terms of “emerging markets,” countries in Europe provide a whole other realm of potential. There are a number of Emerging Europe ETFs, providing access to countries [...]

CAPE: A New Approach To Foreign Equity ETFs

Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:00:47 -0500

When it comes to portfolio allocation strategies, foreign investments are certainly one of the main go-tos as investors look to various corners of the market for more meaningful and stable returns. Adding exposure to equities from around the globe not only provides great diversification benefits, it also has the to potential to produce uncorrelated returns that may be more appealing than domestic investments. But with a wide array of options, sorting through the space can seem like a rather daunting task [see Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. Enter the Shiller cyclically adjusted 10-year price-to-earnings ratio: CAPE.

Santa came late this year but the fact that he showed up at all was good enough for investors on Wall Street. Policymakers in Washington D.C. managed to steer us away from the fiscal cliff, at least for now that is, as they struck a deal in virtually the last moment possible. The bull parade began on December 31st and carried over into the new year, and surprisingly the Fed hinting at ending its bond-repurchase program during Thursday’s meeting wasn’t enough to erode investors’ confidence, perhaps suggesting that optimism is here to stay [see Free 7 Simple & Cheap All-ETF Portfolios].

ETFdb Analyst Picks: Optimism Fuels Rebound

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:09:39 -0500

And just like that domestic equities have recovered their post-election losses. Following Obama’s re-election investors and media headlines focused their attention on the lingering “fiscal cliff”, sparked a rapid sell-off. A little over a month has passed and politicians are still gridlocked in Washington D.C., and while the “fiscal cliff” is that much closer, stocks have managed to discount the lack of a fundamental improvement and rebound higher. Improving employment data and solid GDP have certainly served as positive catalysts over the past month, however, it’s fair to say that optimism has largely driven markets higher on the hopes that our policymakers will strike a deal before we drive off the cliff [see Free 7 Simple & Cheap All-ETF Portfolios].

Stocks have endured a harsh trading week as broad-based profit taking pressures managed to swoop in with little warning following the U.S. election. Although the price action on Wall Street has been far from optimistic, we remain hesitant to pull out entirely given a number of positive developments; for starters, weekly jobless claims came in better-than-expected again, showcasing that the recovery in the domestic labor market is not a case of fudging the numbers as some continue to rant about. Additionally, solid consumer sentiment data also suggests that optimism is building on Main Street, leading us to believe that this week’s rather frightening sell-off may have been a bit overdone as negative headlines from Europe conveniently stole the show [see Free 7 Simple & Cheap All-ETF Portfolios].

5 ETFs For Fiscally-Sound Emerging Markets

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 07:00:52 -0400

The aftermath of the most recent financial crisis has yet to be fully resolved as much of the developed world is still plagued by the weight of its own debt. In Europe, lawmakers are struggling to ensure stability as many of the largest economies in the region are slowly and surely losing their fiscal footing amidst a storm of seemingly never-ending debt drama. The clouds of uncertainty are gathering over the homefront as well, with the United States facing a fiscal cliff of its own. As such, investors are struggling to find opportunities with attractive risk/return profiles, although several foreign markets may offer some relief from the otherwise gloomy, debt-stricken, global backdrop [see also Poland ETFs: A Bright Spot In A Gloomy Region]. With debt burdens and towering deficits spreading far and wide, the search for fiscally-sound investment opportunities abroad has been no easy task.

Tue, 19 Jun 2012 09:00:37 -0400

Commodity prices across the board have endured a dismal decline over the past few months as grim global economic growth expectations have kept a lid on investors’ confidence. Uncertainty has been plaguing virtually every corner of the financial market thanks to a sluggish recovery on the homefront coupled with looming debt woes in Europe. Crude oil in particular has been hit quite hard; fossil fuel futures have lost upwards of 20% since hitting $110 a barrel on March 1, 2012, showcasing the rampant volatility that is associated with energy prices [see also Energy Bull ETFdb Portfolio]. What’s worse than investing in a sinking commodity? Investing in the producers of said commodity. This is because commodity producers will typically experience even greater swings in prices given that their profitability hinges on the market price of their goods. From a macroeconomic perspective, this means that commodity-centric nations are among some of the riskiest investments given [...]

Throughout the past couple of years, investors have witnessed just how far and how deep the Euro Zone’s debt crisis has spread throughout the global financial market. As looming uncertainty and volatility continues to be a dominating force, many have flocked to their preferred ”safe haven” investments, abandoning some of the more profitable and potentially lucrative corners of the market.
