John Hood Vanguard FTSE DEV Asia Pacific Index VA-T BUY May 19, 2022

If you're looking at a global ETF, remember that 60% of it's going to be US. An Asian ETF, 52% is going to be Japan. People want diversification. To get decent global exposure, you're going to need to pick up a couple of ETFs, as just one can't do it all. VA is primarily Japan, a good place to be, with exposure to other countries in Asia.

He is interested in this one. The Asian economies are responding very well he the recovery from COVID. This ETF is mainly Australia, Korea, Japan. It is a good choice. Most portfolios are under exposed to the Asian-Pacific market. It would compliment the XID-T, see Top Picks today.
