My first test with the ETF


International equity investing and valuation is becuase of accounting differences and language bariers is difficult. But emerging markets are growth drivers of the world. I tough it could be a good idea to buy an emerging market index. I can remember from my studies that Exchange Traded Founds are optimal for this purpose. I read somewhere that management cost of the iShares are not much so I added iShares China 25 to my porfolio. The above image shows the performance of the index in one month. I think index funds are good for beginners who does not know anything about valuation etc... but can analyze the general trends.
