Q: Hi Guys
I just use these 2 ETFS to cover the World it keeps it simple, I was told Canada only represents 3% of the World so that is the weighting i use, would you find that an acceptable weighting. Also. VXC has Japan at 8% and China at 4.5% would this be acceptable or would you add another ETF to compliment the 2 listed above, to get a higher exposure to China and other countries, and if so at what percentage weighting.
Thanks Gord

Q: Am looking into investing in ETFs that are exposed to China given things are returning to normal, new incidents of COVID-19 are down, Apple stores are reopening etc. Does this make sense? If so what ETFs would you look at?

Q: Hi again,
Just wondering what you would think of using a few country specific ETFs for emerging markets exposure since China, South Korea, and Taiwan make up over 50% of XEC holdings. Too much risk vs diversity? Or just stick with something like XEC or EMGF for a 10+ year hold in a risk managed growth ETF portfolio. Thanks

Q: Hi,
Watching China lately and wondering if it might be a good time to start a position in a related ETF such as those mentioned above. Are these good choices, or are there better ones out there? I believe ASHR is an index sort of ETF, whereas the KWEB is focused on the internet? Maybe there are other, better ETF's? I don't fully understand fundamentals, nor can I suggest I've anything but a rudimentary sort of grasp on the world economic situation - that's your department! I just see some technical signals that might infer these are improving. Looking forward to your comments and as always, much appreciate all your hard work!
Thanks,
Dawn
