(A Top Pick Nov 03/20, Up 37%) One of the Covid winners. He's reduced exposure now, no longer a bang the table buy, though it will do OK. He'd look for more sectors that are growth or commodity oriented.

TOP PICK
It had a bout of bad news last year. Now the Korean stock market is very cheap and earnings multiples are attractive. Assuming there is not an all-out trade war, it is a place to get significant upside.
TOP PICK
It is south Korean. It is another left for dead asset. South Korea ranks number 1 for innovation. Semiconductor sales are bottoming from the trade war.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 13/19, Up 13%) He's still very bullish about South Korea, exposed to a lot of trade, especially smart phones. Very cheap stocks now in South Korea, which investor have forgotten. This will do very well if the global economy stabilizes
TOP PICK
A past top pick. South Korea is deeply connected to global supply chains yet been hit hard by the US-China trade war, so it's deep in the bargain bin, yet promises the must upside now. SK is off everyone's radar. Good fundamentals too.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 26/19, Up 1%) Before the virus, Asian countries like South Korea were outperforming, and he feels this area has been unfairly sold off. South Korea will rebound, likely in the second half of 2020. If you own this, hold it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 26/19, Up 22%) South Korea has endured this pandemic and proven to be resilient, and not blown its national balance sheet (like western countries). Their main exports are cars and tech components. South Korean assets are overlooked and under-owned, trading at 10.5x earnings and pays a good yield. SK is integrated on global supply chains. It is the poster child for post-Covid success.
TOP PICK

South Korean stocks are undervalued. The economy is resilient, having endured Covid well and totally integrated into world supply chains. It's benefitted from some supply chain shift away from China. South Korea is attracting more foreign capital flows. Samsung is EWY's biggest holding at 22%.

COMMENT
A very long running ETF specializing in South Korea market. You can also look at the Franklin family of country funds. They have competitive MERs.
DON'T BUY
Appealing markets outside NA -- Korea (EWY), Brazil (EWZ), or Germany (EWG)?

Whatever happens in the US affects the rest of the world. He wouldn't recommend emerging markets, as they tend to underperform if/when there's a recession. 

Investors would be better off buying the best companies in the German market, rather than the whole German market. Germany's the 4th-largest economy in the world, but it's had a bunch of issues with its own deficit and economic slowdown. He owns specific stocks in Europe.
