The iShares MSCI EAFE Minimum Volatility ETF (XMI-T) is highly regarded among analysts, particularly by Michael O'Reilly from Stockchase, as a solid investment option for those looking to diversify outside of North America while steering clear of China. Its low market beta of approximately 0.25 indicates a focus on low volatility equities, which are expected to provide growth potential. These characteristics make XMI a remarkable choice during market downturns, as evidenced by its performance ranking in the top 10% for minimizing losses in turbulent years like 2022 and 2018. To enhance portfolio protection, both experts recommend maintaining a stop-loss order at $45, targeting a price increase to $56 or $57, which translates to an upside potential of 18%. The current dividend yield of around 2.5% further sweetens the deal, cementing XMI's status as a top pick for conservative investors.

(A Top Pick Mar 29/18, Up 6%) There was concern about volatility when he recommended it.
Daniel Straus(A Top Pick Aug 17/15. Down 1.05%.) This minimizes volatility. EAFE has had less of good run, and in fact you are lucky to get your money back over the past year. This at least gives you exposure to a part of the world that you normally wouldn’t have, without a lot of volatility along the way.
John DeGoey
This gives you Europe, Asia and the Far East. It gets you out of Canada, and if you are concerned about volatility it minimizes it.
John DeGoeyNew ETF for Europe, Asia and far east with minimum volatility. Europe is the most beaten up of the 3 and if you want to get into this part of the world, it’s a good time to get in with low volatility.
