Europa was a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus

I would be interested in your opinion:

Could this be a good time to pick up shares in a Europe ETF?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The European equity market has underperformed the global equity market in recent years and feels more unpopular than ever. However, in my opinion it has good potential for the future, forget the political unrest and other "news". We are doing better than ever before and things are slowly and steadily moving upwards.

So wouldn't that be the perfect entry scenario, for example by means of a savings plan in a Europe ETF? Perhaps a factor ETF.

One of these, for example:

$IEQD (-0,2 %)

$PEF (+0,18 %)

Do you know of any other interesting Europe ETFs?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alternatively, you could even make a country bet and bet on the UK, Switzerland, France and Italy, for example. Now don't say that country bets are bad, because both India and China seem to have worked. The disadvantages of the country bet would be, depending on the strategy, more ETFs, more risk, more effort. That's why I tend to favor the Europe ETF solution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But in your opinion, does it make sense to invest in a European ETF at all, or are you just adding a drag on returns to your portfolio? After all, most large US companies make their sales worldwide and therefore indirectly invest in Europe, among other places.

Thank you for reading, sharing your opinion, assessment, experience and food for thought

$VEUR maybe? it's very cheap. i had it and sold it a few months ago due to lack of performance and switched to $WEBG. I think you'd be better off with a world ETF. There would be potential, but there would have to be a change of heart in the EU, away from more and more regulation and taxation, and I don't see that happening at the moment.

What are your future prospects for the eurozone? What will drive the economy here? What innovations do we offer? What makes Europe an attractive place for companies to invest?

Lorena@Lorena

In my opinion, a brake on returns. It's better to track Europe through individual stocks. The music plays elsewhere :)

The economic regions of Finland and Sweden are also very interesting from a stock market perspective

How exactly did you come to the conclusion that " we are doing better than ever before" . Are you sure it is normal one of the European biases ?

Malte@Malte123

Are there actually any figures to back up the claim "We are doing better than ever", which I assume refers to the economy?

I've heard that 10-20 years ago we were better off in terms of average purchasing power than we are now (but I can't provide any figures either!). It would be interesting to know.
