By assets, ETF investors largely seem to prefer to buy very broad market exposure at very low cost. When Vanguard launched their first China-only ETF earlier this year, I noted that US ETF investors have about 10x more allocated to Chinese stocks through the portion of broad emerging market ETFs allocated to China than through any China-specific ETFs. That said, ever since ETFs started to be marketed as a more exact, scalable, and cost effective way to trade individual foreign country’s stock markets than through the more expensive and far less exact closed-end funds, which were the more common way to access certain markets a decade earlier. So for easy reference should you be looking for what ETF might let you quickly and inexpensively trade a specific foreign market you might have in mind, below I list 100 of the top single country international ETFs listed in the US as of November 2018:
