With more than 1,100 ETPs now trading, investors and advisors have access to more asset classes and investment strategies than ever before. But it can also be challenging for advisors and investors to navigate through all the ETF options and identify those that meet their investment objectives–especially with new funds debuting on a regular basis. ETF Database maintains a suite of free analytical resources designed to make the ETF world easier to access and understand; today, we profile a free tool that can be valuable for anyone seeking international equity exposure.
The ETF Country Lookup Tool is a free resource that allows investors to identify all U.S.-listed equity ETFs that maintain exposure to a particular country. There are two ways to utilize the tool: investors can either click on a country on our interactive world map or use a dropdown box to make a selection. The resulting table will show all U.S.-listed equity ETFs that maintain material exposure to the selected country, beginning with those that maintain the highest allocation and also including funds that make smaller allocations to a particular economy (results exclude leveraged ETFs).
