Selecting the Best India ETF
Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
Gary Gordon submits:
Right now, there are 5 reasonable ways to invest in the potential growth of Indian stock assets. Two are exchange-traded index funds, one is an exchange-traded note, one is a traditional mutual fund and one is a closed-end mutual fund.
The traditional mutual fund, Matthews India Fund (MINDX), comes from one of my favorite no-load families, Matthews Asia Funds. That said, I rarely opt for emerging market mutual funds in large accounts, as the active management of downside risk is best achieved with stop-limit loss orders and/or moving averages. (Note: Take a look at the buy-n-hold risk associated with MINDX.)
