DON'T BUY

Emerging Market ETFs? There are several including BRIC (CBQ-T) which is highly into Brazil at 55%, MSCI Emerging Market (EEM-N) is a wider based one getting into the BRIC, South Africa and South Korea, MSCI BRIC (BKF-N) which is strictly BRIC. Recently sold his emerging market ETFs in favour of US stocks. Long term it's a great space to be but in the more near term he is seeing monetary tightening and rising interest rates.

BUY

BRIC ETF. Emerging markets is what is going to drive the bus. Things are happening in Asia and China is the #2 economy in the world. Expect we will continue to be surprised on the upside.

DON'T BUY

BRIC ETF. Doesn't particularly like BRIC products because Brazil is resource-based so he'd rather deal Canadian. Also he wouldn't invest in Russia.

COMMENT

BRIC ETF. Reasonably cheap. Currency hedged. An unhedged ETF over time will even out and you save some costs.

DON'T BUY

BRIC ETF. Would prefer to see people going with India or China ETFs. Brazil is a little redundant given the Canadian resource economy and not interested in Russia.

BUY

Likes it very much. Uses a lot. Some people are concerned about Russia, however. The diversification is more of a benefit than in other markets. It’s not correlated to developed markets so can be used to reduce volatility in a portfolio.

COMMENT

CDN emerging-market ETF versus US emerging-market ETF? Using US ones gives you a whole bunch of other issues including multiple currency risks, political risks, etc.

DON'T BUY

BRIC ETF. Feels there are better ways to get access to the underlying exposure. Because this one holds ADRs, it is limited in the range of companies it can hold. The mix is very different from market capitalization weighted mix.

COMMENT

BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) ETF. Russia only accounts for 2.9%. Would prefer the 3 iShares China (CXH-T), iShares Brazil (XBZ-T) and iShares India (XID-T). This would eliminate Russia.

DON'T BUY

Doesn’t particularly have interest in the BRIC.

BUY

1) Broad Emerging Markets ETF (CWO-T) or 2) BRIC ETF (CBQ-T)? CWO is a basket of emerging market countries while CBQ-T is focused on 4 countries, Brazil, Russia, India and China. If you're looking for growth and diversification he would prefer BRIC.

DON'T BUY

BRIC Emerging Markets ETF. Just invests in Brazil, Russia, India and China with the biggest component being Brazil. P/E is 45, which is very high.

DON'T BUY

Not very fond of this one because Brazil is the largest element with its oil. Why do you need Brazil when we are living in Canada? Also, why would anyone want to invest in Russia?

BUY

Is more concentrated than XEM but it has the countries that will lead the emerging market part of the world.

COMMENT

Bric (Brazil, Russia, India and China) ETF. Quite similar to Claymore EW Euro-Pacific ETF (EEN-N). Likes this area but it doesn't give you exposure into Korea, which is one of the first areas you want to be in for both technology space and a cyclical recovery.
