After a multi-year bull market and the recent post-election bump, U.S. markets are hovering near record highs and valuations are stretched. Exchange traded fund investors, though, can turn to overseas markets where opportunities appear much more attractive, despite risks like geopolitical uncertainties.
On the upcoming Tuesday July 11 webcast (available for CE Credit), ‘CARPe Diem’ Tactical & Strategic Positions Outside the U.S., Jared Rowley, Senior Investment Strategist at SPDR ETFs State Street Global Advisors, David Garff, President and Chief Investment Officer of Accuvest Global Advisors, and Joe Mallen, Chief Investment Officer at Helios Quantitative Research, will consider tactical and strategic positions outside the U.S. to focus on capital appreciation at a reasonable price, or “CARP.”
For instance, investors can gain broad market exposure to the growing developing economies through something like the SPDR S&P Emerging Markets ETF (NYSEArca:GMM) or target opportunities through country-specific ETFs like the SPDR MSCI China A Shares IMI ETF (NYSEArca:XINA).
