For most of 2023 and 2024, stock investors didn't need to worry much about strategy or picking the best ETFs. The post Best ETFs Now That The Magnificent Seven Aren't Working Anymore appeared first on Investor's Business Daily.

DWLD seeks value in developed and emerging market stocks with special attention paid to the U.S. DWLD is having a moment in 2024, beating both IVV and ACWI, thanks to its substantial footprint in Chinese companies. But unfortunately, the long-term picture looks less appealing, with the annualized return below that of ACWI and risk metrics revealing its weaknesses.

The Davis Select Worldwide ETF (DWLD) offers diversified exposure to financials, consumer discretionary, communications, and healthcare sectors, with a notable 90% price return since inception. Despite a higher expense ratio, DWLD's performance justifies its cost, especially when compared to larger ETFs like iShares MSCI ACWI ETF. Emerging markets are growing faster than developed ones, suggesting a shift in global economic power that DWLD is well-positioned to capture.
