PAST TOP PICK
(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.
E.T.F.'s
This iShares ETF focuses on equities outside of North America and also excludes China - providing excellent market diversification. It targets companies that demonstrate lower volatility over time along with growth potential. What makes it particularly interesting is its lower volatility despite a 9% average annual growth since inception over 10 years ago. It also ranked in the top10% of an informal evaluation for minimizing losses during the market downturns in 2022 and 2018. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $41.00, looking to achieve $52.50 -- upside potential of 18%. Yield 1.8%
