FYI: No, that headline doesn't pertain to U.S.-focused exchange traded fund. Nor does it pertain to another large developed market, such as Japan or the United Kingdom.
Rather, the headline refers to Israel and the VanEck Vectors Israel ETF ISRA, +1.20%. ISRA is up 16.4% year to date, nearly double the returns of the MSCI EAFE Index, of which Israeli stocks are small part.
Just as important, ISRA is beating the iShares MSCI Israel Capped ETF EIS, +1.13%, the oldest U.S.-listed Israel ETF, by more than 400 basis points this year.
