TOK: Global Ex-Japan ETF Serves A Small Niche
The iShares MSCI Kokusai ETF is a global-developed market ETF which includes U.S. equities but excludes Japan. While Japan's market was exceedingly volatile in prior decades, I no longer see much reason to focus on Japanese weighting within a global equities fund. This ETF has outperformed many other international funds, but I believe that's more because it doesn't own emerging markets.
