Are you looking to invest internationally but can’t decide which exchange traded funds (ETFs) to choose? Why not pick an ETF that rotates its country holdings for you?
That’s the job of the Claymore/Zacks Country Rotation ETF (CRO). Even though CRO does a lot of work for you automatically, make sure you understand how it works to see if it’s in your best financial interest. CRO may have a heavy weighting in a country or sector where your portfolio already has exposure. Currently, CRO invests 25% in the United Kingdom, 13% in Australia, 11% in Hong Kong and 9% in Switzerland. The sector breakdown is 40% financials, 12% industrials, 8% consumer staples and 8% consumer discretionary.
