Current cycle zone
You are 6% below the all-time high, and 83% above the low of the cycle. The signal comes from where you sit in that range.
The floor of the cycle is at $56.01; the ceiling, at $108.89. The closer to the floor, the better the spot to build in slowly.
It has no intrinsic value from fundamentals — the range comes from price highs and lows. The final call is yours; buying gradually (DCA) means a little at a time.
The business
A single basket to invest in the big developed economies outside the United States.
EFA is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the MSCI EAFE index, a basket of hundreds of large and mid-sized companies from developed markets outside the United States and Canada. It includes companies from Europe, Japan, Australia, and other developed regions, through their stocks. It's a way to get exposure to wealthy economies beyond the U.S. market in a single package.
Its edge as a vehicle is broad geographic and sector diversification: with a single purchase you get access to hundreds of companies across many countries, something that's very hard and expensive to put together on your own.
Catalysts and risks
Investor interest in diversifying beyond the U.S. market can bring money flows into this type of fund.
The economic cycles of Europe and Japan can favor these companies during times when their economies recover.
Currency moves (euro, yen) against the dollar can boost the fund's value when the dollar weakens.
The fund charges an annual fee that, though small, reduces your return over time.
It concentrates a good chunk of its weight in a few countries and sectors, like Europe and Japan, which limits real diversification.
Since it invests in currencies other than the dollar, exchange-rate shifts can work for or against you and add volatility.
Charlie's note
“In a vehicle like this, keeping costs low and contributing with discipline over the years matters far more than trying to guess the best moment to get in or out.”
