4 Strong International Equity ETFs

International equities have outperformed YTD but continue trading at discounted prices and valuations. Yields are generally quite good, if not outstanding. Lots of international equity ETFs out there. I'll be giving a quick rundown of four such ETFs in this article.

4 Strong International Equity ETFs

Are There Enough Foreign Equities ETFs?

It's the year of foreign equities ETF diversification and performance. For many ETF issuers, their international or ex-U.S. ETF strategies have led their suites for performance amid rising domestic risks.

ILF: Latin America With A High Dividend Yield

I recommend ILF for income-focused investors seeking emerging market exposure with a high and sustainable dividend yield and strong geographical diversification. ILF's portfolio is anchored in Brazil and Mexico, benefiting from financial innovation, commodity exports, and defensive sector allocations for stability. The fund's expense ratio is competitive, performance is driven by dividends, and valuation remains attractive for income rather than growth investors.

Japan Trade Deal Boosts Return Premium For Foreign Stocks

Global equities ex-US were already leading US stocks in 2025 by a wide margin ahead of the trade deal announced this week between the US and Japan. Vanguard International Stock ETF rose sharply yesterday, and is now up 21.8% year to date.

ILF: Valuation Meets Momentum, Upgrading To Buy

I am upgrading iShares Latin America 40 ETF to a buy, citing its strong YTD outperformance and improved momentum versus the S&P 500. ILF offers a compelling combination of low valuation (8.5x P/E), high 6.1% yield, and attractive PEG ratio, despite portfolio cyclicality risks. Technical analysis points to a bullish setup, with a breakout above $27 targeting $33, supported by double-bottom and RSI strength.

EXCLUSIVE: These Emerging Markets Are The Calm In The Tariff Storm

As global markets spiral from fresh tariff hikes, some emerging markets defy the chaos—surviving and thriving.

ILF: Low Valuations, But Too Much Risk At A Rather Pessimistic Outlook

ILF offers exposure to Latin American markets, primarily Brazil and Mexico, but faces high volatility and political risks. The ETF has a high expense ratio of 0.48% and significant sector concentration, with financials dominating at 37.1%. Brazil's economic outlook is bearish due to potential interest rate hikes, while Mexico's situation is mixed with possible rate cuts halting.

The Trump Factor Takes A Toll On Foreign Stocks

The election victory has fueled a strong rally in US equities, but Trump's comeback is seen as a new risk factor elsewhere as Washington prepares to pivot to new edition of an “America First” policy. The latest surge in US shares has widened the lead for SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) year to date.

ILF: Latin American Stocks Are Cheap, But Bearish Relative Momentum

ILF remains a hold due to compelling valuation but weak technicals, underperforming the S&P 500 despite favorable sector rebounds. The ETF targets large-cap Latin American stocks, focusing on growth and value, but assets have declined significantly since Q4 2023. ILF's portfolio now has more growth exposure with a low P/E ratio, but it needs bullish price action and sector support to upgrade.

ILF: Strong Latin American Equity ETF With High Yield And Low Valuation

Diversified funds are a good option for parking your savings and limiting risks compared to investing in single stocks. ILF focuses on Latin America and has exposure to sectors like mining, energy, and finance. It has low valuations compared to US stocks and offers a higher dividend yield compared to other funds like SPY.
