SCHF, Schwab’s International Equity ETF, rose 1.1%. Analysts project emerging markets could outperform developed markets due to faster GDP growth and lower relative valuations. If there's any concern regarding this ETF, it's a limited exposure to the technology sector. Tech has been the best-performing sector on Wall Street for years, and while the fund holds some decent tech names, many of the best-performing tech stocks don't offer a dividend that allows them to be included in its holdings. E-Trade doesn’t allow investors to purchase partial shares of stock, but you can reinvest dividends into fractional shares, as long as the stock or ETF trades above $5 per share. However, E-Trade does allow you to set up automatic investments in ETFs and mutual funds for as little as $25, meaning that you can still acquire fractional shares in these securities.
