- Investors have multiple reasons to seek exposure outside of U.S. equities: an out of control pandemic, high unemployment, high debt, and slow economic growth.
- Meantime, other regions - specifically China and Asia Pacific - have superior near-term potential, in my opinion.
- While a "Total International Stock ETF" sounds like a good idea, the "total" part of the description means too much diversification that drags down performance.
- As a result, I offer investors two superior alternatives that focus more specifically on China and the Asia Pacific region.
