Exchange Traded Funds: Where Is The Money Flowing?

We often talk of performance, but one statistic then can be
overlooked is into what ETF’s is the money flowing? For those
who follow these markets, it may be no surprise that the money
has been flowing into international funds Money follows
performance, and International Funds have been some of the top
performing funds in the last year
The funds with the largest asset growth are :
iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM:NYSE) iShares MSCI
South Korea Index Fund (EWY:NYSE) iShares MSCI Taiwan Index Fund
(EWT:NYSE) FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (FXI:NYSE ) iShares
MSCI Brazil Index Fund (EWZ:NYSE)
These funds had an amazing January The Brazil EWZ was up 24%
for the month, China’s FXI increased 16%, the emerging-markets
EEM jumped 14%, Taiwan’s EWT spiked 75%, and the South Korean
EWY rose 67% for the month Now some of this growth can be
attributed to currency gain, however these ETF’s remain strong
In fact they have been so strong for so long, some experts are
expecting a sharp pullback in these Funds, however there is no
evidence of that at this point
These foreign funds have gained anywhere from 68% to 24% for
the month of January Now take a look at the good old SP 500
Up 25% for the month of January It is no wonder investors are
looking outside of the US to get a better return on their money
JP Morgan is looking for Latin America, Taiwan, and Korea to
grow their GDP around 45% this year Continuing at its
blistering pace will be China this year with a GDP growth rate
of about 92%
These foreign assets continue to be strong in both price and
asset growth Some feel they may be getting over extended, but
nobody can say for sure where the top is US based Exchange
Traded Funds are off to a slow start this year and it looks like
we will see the same for the rest of the year
