So it is coming up a lot on financial media that investors are looking for new alternatives to the U.S. markets for investing. This makes sense as many think the U.S. markets are a bit over bought and due for a pullback. With this in mind investors could turn to bonds but with a steady forecast of rising rates on the books from the Fed that doesn't seem like a great place to park your money. Commodities are all over the place at the moment and many are not comfortable with that level of risk. If you share the same feelings then today I will show you 4 ways you can invest around the world.

Ok so let's start with Americas southern neighbor, Mexico. Mexico has been in the news lately with talks of the U.S. President building a wall, and the deportation issues, but despite this Mexico is doing alright. One way we can see this is with the ETF that focuses on large, Mexican companies. The symbol for the Mexico ETF is (EWW  ) and this is one popular way to directly participate in the Mexican markets. 

Now the EWW has been mostly higher since the beginning of 2017 but you certainly have to be concerned about what we call "headline risk", and "political risk" here. With the Wall talk, the deportation talk you may see more volatility in the EWW

Next we'll go to Brazil. The (EWZ  ) is an ETF that invests in large and mid-sized companies in Brazil. This ETF goes to the Brazilian stock exchange and does the work for you so you can essentially invest in Brazil. Now in 2011 the Brazilian markets started slowly selling off, but last year it started to recover which left many to think that the bottom was in.

Next up we'll head to Russia. Yes, you can invest in Russia if you like. The symbol is (RSX  ) and that's an ETF that invests in companies incorporated in Russia or have at least 50% of their revenues coming from Russian business. To see a list of companies that are in these ETF's the fastest way is to search the symbol, (RSX) and the word "holdings" in any search engine.

Lastly, we'll look at China. If you want to invest in large companies that trade over in Hong Kong then your ETF will be (FXI  ). Now this ETF is a little more narrow and only invests in 50 large companies but still the most popular ETF to invest in china.

Ok so there you have it 4 ways to invest around the world. Hope this helps and happy trading!
