Your August ETF Snapshot: The Top China ETFs
As many of my readers and podcast listeners know, I have been very positive on emerging markets this year, having dedicated two monthly snapshots to ETFs in the space.

Leveraging Bulls and Bears in Russia
Russia is a country of rich natural resources and a well educated population, but many investors are afraid of it. In the long term, those investors are often right. Russia has gone from strength (a successful hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics) to show of strength (the invasion of Crimea) to self-injury (a ban on […]
Russian Small Caps are a Contrarian Pick
Due to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s shenanigans and the ongoing Ukraine situation, many Western investors are fleeing Russia. However, contrarian investors view this as an excellent opportunity to enter the Russian market on the cheap. After all, Russia’s political troubles cannot erase its large market, or its vast natural resources. If those give you enough […]
Building Your Portfolio with Brazil’s Infrastructure
As the fifth-largest country in the world in terms of both square mileage and population, Brazil places great importance on its infrastructure. When the country hosted this year’s World Cup soccer tournament, visitors poured into Brazil from across the globe to 12 stadiums spread across the host nation, testing the limits of this infrastructure.

Eyeing Brazilian Small Caps
Brazil’s hosting of the recent World Cup seemingly put all eyes on the Portuguese-speaking South American nation in May and June. My colleague Nicholas Vardy wrote a column on investing in Brazil, perpetually regarded as “the country of the future,” and I myself penned an ETF Talk on iShares MSCI Brazil Capped (EWZ), an exchange-traded […]
Take a Close Look at China
We featured FXI, a general Chinese exchange-traded fund (ETF), a little more than a month ago, and that fund’s upward climb warrants us looking at other ETFs focused on that huge emerging market. To that end, today’s ETF Talk will introduce you to two ETFs, with each fund tracking different areas of China’s market: small […]
Asia Offers Regional Emerging Market Opportunity
Six of the 10 most populated countries in the world are in Asia, and the continent holds more than half of the world’s population. The second- and third-largest economies in the world, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), also are in Asia. The mix of frontier, emerging and developed economies in Asia creates a […]
India is Poised for Potential Growth
India, one of the most populous nations on Earth, is an interesting country for investors because it holds the promise of significant growth potential. Its unique characteristics include a population that is young compared to developed nations, the presence of some world class universities and the availability of many employable, English-speaking people. But the country […]
ETF Talk: Is Rebounding Russia Ripe for Investment?
Russia’s developed economy is the eighth largest in the world, with a rich array of natural resources: timber, precious metals and fossil fuels. The country’s workforce is highly educated, and its economy is largely privatized. However, many people regard Russia as an unstable market with poor or even punitive business regulations, so Russian stocks tend […]
