With no changes to any of the iShares models this week, we look at the iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure ETF (EPU).

There are no changes to any of the iShares models this week. As we have previously discussed, international equities now rank first in the DALI asset class rankings after overtaking domestic equities last month. Over the last week, many international equity ETFs have pulled back as the dollar strengthened in response to the Middle East conflict, offering a potential buying opportunity for investors looking to increase their international exposure. One such fund is the iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure (EPU). EPU currently has a near-perfect 5.96 fund score which is 1.33 points better than the average for all non-US equity funds, and a positive 0.60 score direction. In addition to its strong fund score, EPU currently ranks first out of 46 names in the World ETF Matrix.

After briefly falling to a sell signal on its default chart, EPU returned to a buy signal last week when it broke a double top at $92 and continued higher to $95, matching the all-time high it reached in January. In this week’s trading, EPU pulled back to $85, just above its February low, before reversing up into a column of Xs in Wednesday’s (3/4) trading. Year-to-date (through 3/4) EPU has gained 22.56% on a price return basis; the fund also carries a 1.26% yield.
