World Cup ETFs: The Contenders

Global X FTSE Argentina 20 ETF (NYSEArca: ARGT)

Odds to win: 4/1

ETF YTD: Up 10%

Comment: Along with Spain, Argentina are widely regarded as the side with the best chance to topple Brazil for World Cup glory and the oddsmakers agree. It does not get the attention that other Latin America ETFs do, but ARGT has impressed with a 10% gain this year, putting it in a tight race with its Brazil and Colombia rivals for top honors among Latin America single-country ETFs in 2014. ARGT won that battle last year as the only one of the region’s country-specific funds to post a year-to-date gain.
