Because Asia-Pacific funds track a wide range and very distinct country – and company – profiles, each ETF should be evaluated on its own merits, based on its underlying index
- MSCI Emerging Markets Asia – S&P Emerging Asia Pacific
- MSCI All Country Asia ex-Japan – FTSE RAFI Asia Pacific ex-Japan
- MSCI Pacific, FTSE Pacific, MSCI Pacific ex-Japan
- Multi-Factors based (weighted volatility, dividend, quality…)
- Size (FTSE Asean 40 – Asia 50 ADR)
Considering the large representation of China (and of Japan) in the funds, targeted country-based funds, covered in a separate theme, may offer valid investment alternatives as well as our dedicated China and Japan themes
