The Brazil ETF, a Risk Worth Taking? (EWZ) 1.2

Over the last 18 years, the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) and an S&P 500 index fund have both compounded at a rate of 6%. But, EWZ has experienced 2 ½ times more volatility during that time. So, why bother investing outside of the United States or a basic S&P 500 fund? I believe the best reason is correlation. The EWZ ETF has a relatively low correlation coefficient of 0.64. This correlation to U.S. Markets is very useful in building a worldwide equity portfolio that consistently has some components going up while others are going down. This volatility is also a gift to those who are willing to wait for deep downturns to buy shares. In the case of the Brazil ETF, that volatility will arise just about every election cycle.

The chart below makes EWZ look very risky, and it is. In fact, the standard deviation of EWZ is 35%, while it is only 14% in an S&P 500 index fund. Bottom line, if you don’t like volatility in your portfolio, a single country ETF, like EWZ, probably isn’t for you. On the other hand, investors who understand the benefits of volatility and arbitrage will typically see opportunity when observing a chart like this.

“In April of this year, I began seeing several indicators that pointed out to me that it might be time to liquidate my position in Ibovespa (IBOV). As a habit, I like to analyze the P/E ratio for an index prior to purchasing or selling them but I could not find anything for IBOV. In the United States, this information is easily available through public sources.”
