Ex-EuroZone equity mutual funds and ETFs own securities on the various stock exchanges of the 7 European countries that do not use the Euro as their currency. This includes Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden. Services are the most important sector by far in this region, with industrial output a distant second. Several of these funds and ETFs can be actively managed as they require special knowledge of foreign markets and active management may increase the chances of generating a higher return compared to an index fund or passive ETF. Ex-EuroZone equity funds may invest in common equities, and these can vary by market capitalization (small or large), dividend income (total income or high income), and strategy (sector-based or factor-based), among others. Some of these funds, especially those focused on developed economies such as Sweden, are appropriate for conservative-minded investors. Aggressive investors looking to take higher risk might prefer allocations to funds with more exposure to emerging markets (such as Poland), which offer the potential for higher returns.
