With so many emerging economies to choose from, many investors shy away from putting all their eggs in one basket and, instead, focus on international sector ETFs.

Some sectors outperform others at different times. Sometimes energy stocks take the lead. Other times, technology will drive the market. ETFs investors can take advantage of these trends by purchasing international SECTOR funds. For example, the WisdomTree International Energy Sector Fund holds a variety of major energy leaders Total SA of France and Statoil ASA of Norway. Another ETF called the WisdomTree International Technology Sector Fund invests in German software firm SAP AG and Japanese copier and camera maker Canon Inc.

Japan

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:41:27 +0000

With approximately $4.5 trillion in GDP, Japan is the second largest economy in the world. And it has earned this distinction through a combination of strong work ethics, a mastery of high technology, and cooperation between government and industry.

In the 1960s, Japan’s 10% average growth rate was considered nothing short of “miraculous.” Through the ’70s and ’80s, the nation managed to maintain a healthy average of 5% and 4%, respectively. Growth slowed in the 1990s due largely to over-investment during the late 1980s. However, Japan’s GDP growth has become robust again in recent years, often surpassing the growth rates of the United States and European Union.

Major industries in Japan include banking, insurance, real estate, retailing, transportation and telecommunications. Japan also is home to many leading multinational corporations and some of the largest and most technologically advanced producers of motor vehicles, electronic equipment, machine tools, steel and nonferrous metals, ships, chemicals, textiles and processed foods.

Japan’s largest trading partner is China, which exports 21% of its products to the country, while importing 13.4% of Japanese goods. Other major trading partners include the United States, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

One of the best ways to invest in Japan is through a country-specific ETF, such as iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund. To learn more about Japanese investment opportunities, click below.

India

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:40:42 +0000

With a population exceeding 1.1 billion people, India is the world’s second most populous country and one of the fastest growing economies with an annual GDP growth rate of 9.4%. It is, in fact, the world’s third largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP).

Sixty percent of India’s 509.3 million labor force is employed in agriculture and related industries. Major crops include rice, wheat, oilseed, cotton, jute, tea, sugarcane and potatoes. The remaining 28% and 12% are involved in service and industry, respectively. Major industries include automobiles, cement, chemicals, consumer electronics, food processing, machinery, mining, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, steel, transportation equipment, and textiles.

In recent years, India has used its huge pool of educated, English-speaking people to become a leading outsourcing destination for multinational corporations. It is also a major exporter of software, financial, research, and technological services.

The country also boasts rich deposits of various natural resources including bauxite, chromite, coal, diamonds, iron ore, limestone, manganese, mica, natural gas, petroleum and titanium ore.

Europe

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:34:09 +0000

As a continent, Europe has the largest economy in the world. Comprised of 48 different states and more than 710 million people, it boasts a GDP (PPP) of $12.82 trillion and an annual growth rate of 2.8%.

But like other continents, European wealth varies from state to state. Thanks to their long history of global trade, a free market system, and high levels of development, the richest economies belong to Western European nations such as Germany and the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, even poorer East Europe countries that are still emerging from communism are starting to experiencing impressive growth.

In fact, the 25-member European Union has been so successful that its currency, the euro, is now worth more than the U.S. dollar. Opportunities abound for U.S. and foreign investors eager to benefit from European growth. To learn more, click below.

China

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:32:48 +0000

When measured by PPP, China is the world’s second largest economy – for now. As the most populous nation on Earth with a mind-boggling annual growth rate of 11.9%, China is well on its way to becoming the preeminent economic force of the 21st century.

A lot of China’s gains in recent years has come from exporting products to the West. But now, 1.3 billion Chinese are beginning to own their own products. In addition, Beijing is relaxing the rules on pensions and private savings, so more money – an estimated $4.6 trillion in liquid private savings – is going into the markets. That alone is expected to cause China’s stock market to triple over the next few years.

China’s vast array of industries include iron and steel, coal, machinery, armaments, textiles and apparel, petroleum, chemicals, footwear, toys, food processing, automobiles, consumer electronics, telecommunications and information technology. The nation’s exports – to trading partners such as the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and Germany – exceed imports to the tune of nearly $200 billion.

Many small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap Chinese companies trade on U.S. exchanges and region-specific ETFs include iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index and PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China (PGJ). To learn more about these opportunities, click below.

Canada

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:31:43 +0000

Canada is not only the second largest country in the world by total area, but also one of the wealthiest with a high per-capita income of $35,200 (7th in the world) and a nominal GDP of more than $1 trillion. That’s because Canada is abundantly rich in all kinds of natural resources including oil, precious metals, timber, and natural gas.

As one of the few developed nations that ranks as a major exporter of energy, Canada has the world’s second-largest reserves of oil and vast deposits of natural gas. In fact, it is the leading supplier of oil and natural gas to the United States. It also is the world’s largest producer of zinc and uranium and a leading exporter of gold, nickel, silver, aluminum and lead. In addition, Canada is one of the world’s largest suppliers of hydroelectric power and agricultural products.

Stocks in many Canadian companies trade on U.S. exchanges and ETFs, such as iShares MSCI Canada Index Fund, are available to investors. To learn more about these opportunities, click below.

Brazil

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:31:08 +0000

A huge country rich in both natural resources and entrepreneurial talent, Brazil has the ninth largest economy in the world and a GDP greater than any other Latin American country.

Thanks to recent economic reforms, Brazil is experiencing explosive growth. In his first term of office, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reduced consumer price inflation (from 12.5% in 2002 to less than 3% in 2006), paid off the nation’s debt to the IMF, slashed Brazil’s total domestic debt load, boasted the value of the real, and transformed Brazil’s trade balance, formerly a deficit, into a yearly trade surplus.

Fueling Brazil’s economy is a significant increase in its exports, which more than doubled in 2005 to $118 billion from $58 billion in 2001. Not only is Brazil the world’s leading exporter of sugar, coffee, beef, soybeans and orange juice, but also its major exports include aircraft, vehicles, textiles and footwear. Brazil’s top trading partners include the United States, Argentina, China, the Netherlands and Germany.

Investors eager to benefit from Brazil’s phenomenal growth have several ETFs to choose from, including iShares MSCI Brazil Index Fund. To learn more about these opportunities, click below.

Australia

Kilani — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:30:35 +0000

Located between the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, Australia has a prosperous, Western-style economy that is poised to benefit from the growth of its Asian neighbors and continued commerce with its European and American trading partners. In fact, its largest export markets include Japan, China and South Korea, as well as the United States and the United Kingdom.

In 1983, the Australian government started a process of economic reform by floating the Australian dollar and partially deregulating the financial system. That was followed by partial deregulation of the country’s labor market and the privatization of state-owned businesses.

Today, Australia has a per capita GDP slightly higher than those of the United Kingdom, Germany and France in terms of purchasing power parity. Sixty-nine percent of GDP is attributed to the service sector, including tourism, education and financial services. Agricultural products (such as wheat, barley, cottonseed and canola) and natural resources (such as bauxite, coal, uranium, iron ore, gold, silver, copper and tin) comprise another 3% and 5%, respectively.

Australia ranked third in the United Nations’ 2006 Human Development Index and sixth in The Economist worldwide quality-of-life index 2005, making it one of the best nations for foreign investment. There are a number of region-specific ETFs that focus on Australia, including iShares MSCI Australia Index Fund. To learn more about investment opportunities in Australia, click below.
