Best Long-Term Performance International Large Cap Value ETFs 1.1

The International (Foreign) Large Cap Value asset class is a difficult asset class to research. The reason being is that there haven’t been funds available for very long in this asset class. The older mutual funds available in this asset class have only been around since the mid 1990’s. The oldest ETF available in this category is the BLDRS Developed Markets 100 ADR Index Fund (ADRD), inception December 2002. So, without significant fund data to compare this asset class with others, I am relying heavily on the expertise of historians, academic studies and reliable financial experts.

Continuing To Trim Fat Off Our Energy Equities (PXI) 1-3-2018

We are continuing to trim fat from our Energy Equities. We remain invested in the PowerShares DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio (PXI : $PXI.) Price paid $36.15. Price sold $40.68.

For those who are new to the Deep Value ETF Accumulator website, you may be wondering why we are selling shares of PXI instead of XLE, which is listed on the daily list. Well, the reason behind that is, I could not decide between XLE & PXI when I was accumulating shares, so we accumulated both. For now, we are going to continue holding both, but eventually we will divest from one or the other, but not both.

Additionally, I wrote an article specifically about PXI right here: Looking Under the Hood of the PowerShares DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio ETF (PXI) $PXI

Looking Under the Hood of the PowerShares DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio ETF (PXI) $PXI

There is one singular reason that I invest in ETFs instead of mutual funds. That reason is transparency. I like the fact that I can look at an ETFs website and/or prospectus and in relatively short order know exactly what it will cost me (expense ratio), how much it will cost to buy and sell it (transaction costs) and what’s in it (holdings). As a new financial blogger, it was brought to my attention that I may not be transparent enough myself. Most folks probably haven’t heard of the PowerShares DWA Energy Momentum Portfolio ETF PXI, and definitely wouldn’t know why The Deep Value ETF Accumulator invests in it. That will be my purpose today; to look under the hood of PXI and discover why I see value in this ETF.
