Non-U.S. Geographical

Exchange Traded Funds

(See the IHub AIM/ETF Bulletin Board for on-going discussions.)

As more "Country" and "Geographical" sector funds have come available, it has become easier for individuals to diversify their investments on a global basis. Using AIM as the primary risk management tool, the histories shown below will show you how these investment tools can be added to an account with excellent results. There is some currency balancing that also occurs with these funds. As the U.S. Dollar changes in value against non-U.S. currencies we see these funds counteract some of that. AIM is able to take advantage of the swings in exchange rates buy selling into foreign currency strength and buying into weakness.
