The iShares MSCI South Korea E.T.F. (EWY) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, particularly in the context of global economic challenges. One expert points out that markets outside North America, such as Korea, Brazil, and Germany, present appealing investment opportunities. However, they caution that emerging markets like South Korea can underperform during U.S. recessions, which makes the overall economic landscape a critical factor for investors. In contrast, there are suggestions that focusing on specific, high-quality stocks in established markets like Germany could be a more prudent approach given the recent economic slowdown and deficit issues in that region. Therefore, while EWY may provide exposure to the Korean markets, careful consideration of external economic influences is essential for potential investors.

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. 

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.
PAST TOP PICK
(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.
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%.

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 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.
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.
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.
DON'T BUY

The future is Asia ex-Japan. This is the most direct way to do it. The #1 holding, Samsung, is 22% of the fund. Country funds tend to have a premium on the MER. Better way would be to just buy Samsung. Once you deconstruct the ETF, you see that it relies on just 1 or 2 stocks.

BUY

One of the most liquid ETFs out there and a great way to get exposure to South Korea, and Canadians are underexposed to the Pacific Rim.

TOP PICK
Chart shows good uptrend. South Korea has a lot of good things happening to it. North Korea looks like they are backing down from their nuclear stance.
