Luckily, there may be an easy way to accomplish that, while also investing in some of the most compelling <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s of 2020 and the future. <\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       An analysis by Todd Rosenbluth, head of mutual fund and ETF research for CFRA, finds that many of the exchange-traded funds and ETF categories that are hot right now have exposure that\u2019s more global in nature than many investors may realize \u2013 more global, in fact, than popular benchmarks. That makes some of these ETFs a two-fer, Rosenbluth believes: they offer strong investment theses and diversified exposure. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no border for great companies,\u201d Rosenbluth said in an interview. \u201cThere\u2019s no border for great ideas or themes. A compelling investment theme makes sense globally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read:<\/strong> What will 2021 bring for ETFs?<\/p>\n<p>Rosenbluth\u2019s analysis compares the widely-tracked MSCI<br \/>\nAll-World Index, which has a 57.7% weighting of U.S. stocks, with several<br \/>\npopular strategies. <\/p>\n<p>Clean energy ETFs, which have gotten a boost over the past few months on expectations of a Democratic, and thus climate-friendly, administration, have broad international exposure, Rosenbluth found. The Invesco Solar ETF<br \/>\n        TAN,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/210041821\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+2.67%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       allocates only 45% of its portfolio to U.S. companies, a metric which falls to 32% of the portfolio of the iShares Global Clean Energy ETF.<br \/>\n        ICLN,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/205740995\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+1.44%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n        In the iShares fund, the second-largest represented country is New Zealand, a country Rosenbluth said he was surprised to see weighted so heavily. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe research of these ETF managers means they\u2019re finding the leaders within these investment themes regardless of where they\u2019re domiciled even if someone like me wouldn\u2019t have thought of them,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>His research found similar patterns across different themes. The Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF<br \/>\n        BOTZ,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/205896633\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.72%<\/bg-quote><span>,<\/span><br \/>\n       for example, has its biggest geographic concentration from Japan, at 45%, with the U.S. in second place at 35%. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to be confused with BETZ, the Roundhill Sports Betting &amp; iGaming ETF,<br \/>\n        BETZ,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/218797171\/composite\" class=\"positive\">+0.29%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       which MarketWatch profiled when it launched in June. BETZ has only 34% exposure to U.S. stocks, followed by Britain and Australia. In a sign investors believe in its thesis, the fund has pulled in $178 million in its six months of existence. <\/p>\n<div id=\"cx-membership-tile\"><\/div>\n<p> It\u2019s ultimately up to each investor to decide what kind of geographic exposure he or she wants, but Rosenbluth argues that \u201cthe long-term trend is favorable\u201d for the themes represented here. The coronavirus pandemic may have sped up adoption of some high-tech lifestyle transitions, and the 2020 presidential election goosed interest in clean energy, but all these technologies are here to stay, he said. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestors will likely continue to show interest in these in the future because the themes make sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:  <\/strong>ETF Wrap: An article of faith<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>      <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Andrea Riquier\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Andrea_Riquier\"><\/span>Andrea Riquier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
