International ETF shares

International ETF shares tracking major developing countries, better known as emerging markets, are popular and are easily available for international trading and investing. You can use them for short-term but also for mid and long-term trading or investing strategies based on international exchange traded funds

Brazil ETFs shares and BRIC ETF options

Latin America could be covered by these main international emerging markets etf shares:

EWZ .. Ishares Brazil
EWW .. Ishares Mexico
GML .. Latin America SPDR fund
EPU .. Ishares Peru
ECH .. Ishares Chile
BRF .. Market Vector Small cap
BZF .. WisdomTree Brazil Real currency fund

It is possible to use exchange traded funds to trade stock markets of the above mentioned countries but also to invest directly into some of their currencies, as is possible for Brazil.

Also, the performance of these stocks often correlates with the performance of commodity fund shares, especially in the case of Chile.  Brazil has a much more diversified economy.

Emerging Europe or Africa are also very popular regions for international etf investing.

Russia fund shares are often used for investment strategies combined with oil ETF strategies. Russian shares tend to perform well when the price of oil is high.

Poland’s fund is quite popular, as it represents the biggest country in Central and Eastern Europe with a good economic outlook.
