Wisdom tree ISEQ 20 ETF relatively new

[galway_blow_in]

also with regard to Iseq it has already recovered strongly from the lows it reached in 2011, however the iseq now comprises different companies than it did in 2007 so the recovery is by different companies, the banks are still penny stocks and they were a huge part of the iseq valuation in 2007. Also it has poor diversification, there are no oil companies (exploration does not count), no energy companies (no gas and electricity suppliers), no big pharma as far as I know, no infrastructure like ports, railways and pipelines.

having a major oil company in your index will weigh it down right now , its why a FTSE 100 index fund will struggle , BP and SHELL are a significant proportion

one of the reasons I like Germany so much right now is that there are no oil majors in that country
