3 ETFs That Can Supercharge Your Retirement Savings
If you'd at least like a chance at beating the market but just aren't a fan of investing in individual stocks, you've got options. Several exchange-traded funds offer the potential to outperform the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY), which -- for better or worse -- is only meant to mirror the the broad market's overall returns. Here's a closer look at three of your best long-term ETF bets for a retirement portfolio.
If you think the domestic large-cap market is volatile, then buckle up. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China ETF (NASDAQ: EMXC) can throw investors even more serious curveballs.
Just as the name suggests, the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ex-China ETF is a basket of companies domiciled in less-than-fully developed parts of the world (with the exception of China). India, Taiwan, and South Korea are the underlying index's most represented countries, although no single one accounts for more than about one-fifth of the fund's total value. The ETF holds more than 600 different stocks, in fact, giving you access to lots of equities you'd simply not be able to plug into any other way.
