There are many ways to add exposure to one's portfolio with these themes in mind, but for clients in our Strategic Income Portfolio, I have a close eye on the iShares International Dividend ETF IDV -0.70% and the WisdomTree International Dividend ex-Financials ETF DOO -0.82% . From a technical perspective, both indexes have taken a pause over the last several weeks and are currently resting right near their respective 50-day moving averages. Conservative investors could consider acquiring a small amount of exposure now, and then adding if additional volatility presents itself. On the other hand, the 50-day average could prove to be meaningful support for a resurgence of the rally that began in July.
For those interested in only investing in U.S. stocks, you could consider an allocation to the First Trust Nasdaq Technology Dividend ETF TDIV +0.29% as the companies that make up that index carry a large amount of earnings exposure to EU and Asian economies. Just remember to always keep some form of risk management close at hand to shield your portfolio from any unforeseen downturns. However, like any effective strategy, developing a game plan and then implementing it decisively will always produce the best results.
