  • EFA: Diversify Your Portfolio Outside the U.S. [View article]
    A few international mutual funds outperformed EFA over the past five years, like Harbor Intl. for one.
    However, the MF's do not offer the intra day trading opportunities, or the tax advantages that EFA offers.
    Also . the "EFU" ETF (short) allows the investor to short against the box when things get shaky, or if the investor feels the need to be market neutral for some time period.
    Of course , EFU can be employed to hedge against a held Intl. MF as well, among other strategies.
    Thanks for the refreshing update on EFA.
