Undercovered ETFs You Should Know About: 12 Analysts' Picks From August-September 2024

The 'Undercovered' Dozen ETF edition highlights less covered ETFs, focusing on seven in-depth analyses and five brief mentions, from articles published between August 15th and September 16th. The Invesco Russell 1000 Dynamic Multifactor ETF (OMFL) has shown volatility but is stabilizing; patience is advised by The Sunday Investor as its high-quality selections might perform well. The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (SPYD) offers a 4.07% yield but lacks complexity according to MacroGirl; consider alternatives like PEY.

EWZ: Opportunities Outweigh The Monetary Policy Uncertainty

Brazilian equities have gained 15.16% post-Black Monday, driven by the outperformance of financial stocks, positive external news, and mixed internal news. The largest tracking ETF is at its lowest five-year AUM, and higher risk appetites with a soft landing could attract foreign inflows at a rapid pace due to cheap valuations. Inflation deviating from the target, along with the appointment of a new central bank president, raises uncertainty. Yet, the opportunity outweighs the cons.

EWZ: Why It Could Be A Good Time To Invest In Brazil

To invest in the Brazilian stock market, I chose the EWZ ETF because it is more liquid, even though it has fewer holdings and is more expensive than its peers. The economic prospects for Brazil are positive, and the country's stock market performance significantly lags behind its GDP growth. The lowering of Fed rates can stimulate the growth of commodity prices and emerging market stocks, including Brazil.

EM Election Madness

Equities here in the US have gotten off to a weak start this month, with the S&P 500 down modestly over the past couple of sessions. The US-traded ETF that tracks Mexican stocks is down 8.3% month-to-date and 12.3% year-to-date.

EWZ: Worth The Risk Despite Lula Intervention

The EWZ tracks the performance of the MSCI Brazil index, which is dominated by commodity stocks and characterised by a high dividend yield and cheap valuations. Sentiment towards Brazilian stocks has been undermined by the government's decision to replace the CEO of oil giant Petrobras, raising fears of further government intervention into the corporate sector. The ETF is extremely undervalued relative to its own history and EM peers, and its high FCF and dividend yield suggest it should outperform even if the discount remains intact.

EWZ: High Return, Cheap Valuation And Prominent Position - Buy

With changes in global geopolitics, Brazil is positioning itself as a great investment alternative in emerging markets. Brazil has strong competitive advantages in agriculture, mining and the oil industry. The country is positioned to be a big player in the energy transition. Despite its companies' excellent return on equity, EWZ trades at a 27% discount to its emerging market peers.
