Korean ETFs

Around us we see KIA cars, Samsung TVs, LG fridges... Korea seems to be the future. In fact in our last trip to this country we found the perfect combination of modesty, hard work and ambition in most of the companies we visited.

If you think it is worth it to invest in Korea, probably the best way to do it for retail investors is through an ETF (fund traded real time that buys a share of the full market at once). We have selected 2:

-EWY, the biggest and most liquid one. Expense ratio: 0.62%. Main sectors: 41% technology, 13% financial services.
-FKO, with an algorithm to choose the stocks. Expense ratio: 0.8%. Main sectors: 18% consumer cyclicals, 18% technology, 15% industrials.
