Top 5 Losers in the Deep Value ETF Accumulator Portfolio for 2021

Happy New Year to all. This year, as with most we had some winners and some losers in our portfolio. This isn’t out of the ordinary and we plan to always have at least a few losers each year in our massively diversified portfolios. These numbers were calculated by M1 Finance. These numbers do not include dividends received. These numbers are from our Traditional IRA which had no inflows or outflows of money other than dividends received. (Note: I did not include the ETFs that were added to the portfolio during 2021. SPEM, PSCH, XAR)

  1. CQQQ – CHINA REGION EQUITIES -23.88%
  2. EWY – SOUTH KOREA EQUITIES -7.59%
  3. ENZL – NEW ZEALAND EQUITIES -6.01%
  4. EDV – U.S. LONG DURATION TREASURIES -4.41%
  5.  GLDM – GOLD -3.98%

Many blessing to all of you in 2022.

4 Best Long Term Performance China Equity ETFs 1.3

I normally pick the oldest ETF in a category to show how that category has performed over a long period of time. This time I have chosen the second oldest China ETF, the Invesco Golden Dragon China ETF (PGJ), to display long term performance. The reasoning behind this is that PGJ is only 2 months younger that the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI), and PGJ has superior long term performance to FXI.

Is China still worth the investment risk?

The Safer Way to Play Alibaba Group Holding Ltd Stock (FNI)

“Although there are many equal-weighted ETFs, finding one that specializes in emerging markets such as China isn’t in the cards.

However, First Trust uses equal weighting in many of its ETFs, so I went to its site for an answer. I came up with the First Trust ISE ChIndia Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA: FNI) which uses a partial equal-weighting methodology to come up with the 25 best stocks in both China and India.

FNI is rebalanced semiannually, ranking companies in each country by market cap and liquidity. The top-three ranked stocks are weighted at 7%, the next three at 4%, the three after that at 2%, and the remaining 16 are equally weighted at approximately 0.68%.

Alibaba, JD.com and Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) are the three top stocks from China. They’re all currently weighted below 7% because of the correction in recent weeks.”
