Brazil is one of the top-10 global economies, and it is richly endowed with a range of base commodities.
The country has great long-term growth potential, although in the near term, it needs to get its economy back on track. Here is one ETF that provides exposure to the top Brazilian publicly listed companies for investors who want to tap the country’s long-term prospects.

The major Canadian and U.S. stock markets, while still subject to volatility, continue to offer attractive returns for investors—especially if you buy the top stocks. All in all, we think that if you can afford to stay in the market for several years or longer, now is a good time for new buying....
Here’s a look at some of the factors that make the three ETFs we see as buys on pages 3 and 4 attractive—and why we don’t like the fourth.

Meantime, France is home to several of the top luxury goods companies in the world....

Here’s a look at three popular ETFs in three different areas—medical-device makers, natural resource producers and S&P 500 companies (but with a twist). We like the first two, but we think the third is likely to underperform its “plain vanilla” counterpart.

The United Arab Emirates is a small country in a potentially volatile region, with neighbours like Yemen and Iran nearby. Still, it has used its oil riches wisely to diversify the economy and become a major commercial hub in the Middle East.
Here’s an ETF that provides exposure to the top companies listed in the UAE.
