Thanks, Derf
@Chinfest, After looking at a comparison at Schwab it was noted that Mindx has 9% holding in N. America. AUM might also be something to look at. I may split 50-50 & invest after a drop. Thanks for pointing these two funds out.

$500,000 – $999,999 = 0.90%
$1,000,000 – $1,999,999 = 0.75%
