IOO: Not Necessarily A Better International Alternative Than The S&P

The IOO ETF is mostly just a value weighted US portfolio, with European exposures consisting primarily of healthcare and consumer staple exposures. We think geopolitics is the most important factor, and the US is in a great position eating Europe's lunch.

IOO: We're Thinking A Soft Landing

US markets are simply way too expensive. Every effort is being made to slow down the economy meaningfully, yet equities are way ahead of 2019 levels. IOO, while being somewhat global, is still mostly moved by US indices, and the global part is the only part that brings the PE down to earth.
