 Dear Reader, The stock market just entered a highly dangerous new phase – which is going to have dramatic consequences for your money this summer. The signs are everywhere: SpaceX just went public. OpenAI and Anthropic will likely follow it. If you're thinking of buying into any of these IPOs... PLEASE DON'T. They're likely to be disasters – the most overhyped, overvalued large-cap stocks of all time, foisted on gullible investors by Wall Street insiders. At the same time, the President and his family are openly picking winners in the stock market... while a 24-year-old just founded his own hedge fund and made $5 billion in less than a year. But it's what's coming NEXT that I'm most worried about. I've spent 30 years on Wall Street. I have my MBA from Harvard and spend my time in correspondence with billionaires like Warren Buffett and Bill Ackman. I've forecast the collapse of dozens of stocks. But what I see happening today scares me – as a former money manager, as a father, and as an American. Because our country is headed toward an economic event unlike anything we've seen in over 100 years. Perhaps you see the signs too. Or maybe you just feel it – that creeping, nagging doubt that tells you something is dangerously wrong in our country. If that's you, I'd urge you... listen to your gut. If you care about your wealth, your family, and your future, you need to understand what's really coming. I've put together a free analysis explaining exactly what I see, and the specific steps I recommend you take with your money today. I strongly encourage you to check it out here.

3 ETFs Offering Exposure to Latin America’s Stock Market RallyAuthor: Nathan Reiff. Posted: 7/1/2026. 
Key Points
- Several Latin American equity markets have outperformed the S&P 500 year to date, helped by commodity exposure, emerging-market inflows and lower valuations.
- The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF and iShares MSCI Mexico ETF give investors targeted country exposure, but both come with concentration risk.
- The iShares Latin America 40 ETF offers broader regional access, though its holdings remain heavily tilted toward Brazil and Mexico.
- Special Report: Problems at SpaceX: time to get out?
Although the region is not moving in lockstep, several Latin American equity markets have outperformed the S&P 500 year to date (YTD). Emerging markets in Peru, Colombia, Brazil, and elsewhere have all beaten the S&P's 9% YTD return, helped by a mix of factors that includes higher prices for select commodities, rising AI-related demand for inputs such as copper, lithium, and nickel, and attractive company valuations. Globally, investors are rotating toward emerging markets in search of stronger earnings growth and lower valuations, and the Latin American market may be well positioned to continue benefiting from that shift. While risks remain—overall economic growth is still modest, and political instability remains a defining feature in many countries—U.S. investors can easily gain exposure to the region through several dedicated exchange-traded funds (ETFs). EWZ Offers Liquid Exposure to Brazil’s Financials and Materials
The iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (NYSEARCA: EWZ) tracks the MSCI Brazil 25/50 Index, giving investors access to a pool of roughly 57 large- and mid-cap Brazilian stocks. These holdings are concentrated primarily in the financials, materials, utilities, and energy sectors, but they also include exposure to other areas of the market. A handful of major companies—including mining giant Vale S.A.—dominate the portfolio, with the top 10 holdings accounting for roughly 58% of invested assets. That concentration may not be a drawback, given that Brazil's market has benefited from strength in agriculture, mining, and financial stocks. Although the country remains heavily dependent on commodity prices, and concerns about interest rates and inflation persist into the second half of the year, EWZ has so far been a strong performer in 2026, returning more than 8% YTD and nearly 29% over the last 12 months. Like many country-specific funds, investors can expect to pay a premium for targeted access to the Brazilian market through EWZ. The ETF charges an annual fee of 0.59%, which is on the high side compared with most passively managed funds. However, it remains highly liquid and popular with investors, with about $9 billion in assets under management (AUM) and roughly 32 million shares in one-month average trading volume. EWW Offers Mexico Exposure With Nearshoring TailwindsThe Mexican market has also benefited from some of the factors noted above, as well as nearshoring—the practice of, in this case, U.S. companies shifting production across the border to lower costs. That trend has supported industrial real estate, manufacturing, logistics, and other industries in Mexico. The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF (NYSEARCA: EWW) is similar to its sibling, EWZ, in that it provides country-specific exposure and a relatively narrow portfolio. In this case, EWW holds 44 positions across the market-cap spectrum, although large-cap names still dominate—and, as with EWZ, a few heavy hitters carry outsized weights in the basket. One advantage EWW has over its peers is that it is somewhat less expensive, with an annual fee of just 0.50%. At the same time, it has slightly outperformed EWZ in recent quarters, returning nearly 9% YTD and close to 30% over the last 12 months. This fund also sports a dividend yield of 3.25% for investors seeking a passive income boost. On the other hand, AUM of close to $1.9 billion and one-month average trading volume of about 1.4 million shares are substantially lower than those of EWZ. ILF Offers Broad Latin America Exposure in One ETFInvestors looking for a single fund to build broad exposure to Latin America may find the iShares Latin America 40 ETF (NYSEARCA: ILF) appealing. It not only offers the widest geographical reach of the funds on our list, but it also has the lowest fee at just 0.47%. That said, because of ILF's mandate to focus on 40 of the largest publicly traded LatAm companies, the ETF provides exposure primarily to Brazil, Mexico, and Chile, with a small allocation to Peru and even smaller exposure to Colombian equities. ILF is therefore a fairly concentrated play, but it can be a good choice for investors looking for more established firms in the financials, materials, energy, and consumer staples sectors. The strategy has paid off this year: ILF has returned almost 11% YTD and 37% over the past 12 months, on top of a 3.50% dividend yield. For investors seeking broader exposure to Latin America beyond this fund, it will be important to make sure there is not significant overlap between ILF and other portfolios, given this ETF's focus on major players.
