IOO Can Provide Diversification, But May Not Be Ideal For International Exposure
IOO offers exposure to the world's largest 100 companies, but it's heavily concentrated in U.S. tech, limiting true global diversification. The ETF carries a relatively high 40bps fee compared to similar strategies and has significant overlap with the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500. A blended approach using QQQ, EEM, and VEA may provide better diversification and lower costs, but IOO remains a strong performer among global funds.

US stocks surged post-Trump re-election, but foreign shares underperformed due to a strong US Dollar Index, raising concerns about future market risks. Downgrade iShares Global 100 ETF from buy to hold due to potential post-election move digestion and broader market advance over the past 25 months. IOO has a fair valuation with high-tech exposure, but technical indicators suggest momentum is slowing, and resistance is apparent at $101.

IOO: Exposure To Technology Stocks Is Beneficial
iShares Global 100 ETF is a global equity fund with a higher exposure to the information technology sector. IOO has delivered solid returns since October 2022, outperforming the S&P 500 index. Despite a high allocation to U.S. stocks, IOO provides international diversification, as most U.S. stocks in its portfolio have a significant chunk of their revenues outside of America.

IOO: Not International Enough
