What are International-Based Exchange Traded Funds?
These are Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) that have as their underlying tracking instrument an index or other financial product focused on a single country. They are usually well diversified and designed to reflect the overall economic condition of the country itself. The underlying index chosen is often the major index of the principal exchange within the country.
Investors choose international-based ETFs for several reasons. They wish to hold a broadly based portfolio of shares from a country without having to directly purchase shares within the country. They may also believe that the economy of a country is going to grow faster than other countries and they wish to participate. International-based ETFs give them the means to do this with a smaller investment and less complication than directly purchasing shares.
