My primary position is VT (~70%), but I am also in a few individual stocks (large-cap US) and some sector/country-specific ETFs. I recently sold most of my position in EWY (South Korea) after this run-up and I'm looking at other single-country ETFs. To be honest, this is more of a vibes type of trade and I've been looking into EWS (Singapore) and various EU countries, but I don't really know what I'm looking for.
What are your thoughts on single-country ETFs, what are you buying/holding with a 5-10 year horizon? I know, I know, just keep adding to VT or VXUS or VWO, and I will, but interested in hearing what other folks are up to.
Single-Country ETFs for the next 5-10 years?

Was interested in Vietnam and India but they lack the regulatory transparency and politics to ensure financial gain.
Korea has been great. I am holding because Samsung and SK Hynix have tailwinds.
Canada and Mexico are conservative, but looking to continue to outperform US.
Brazil seems to be surging. A Latin America regional fund might be a conservative way to play that.
Japan has some recent headlines driving upside.
I get the “vibes” approach 😄. For 5–10 years, single-country ETFs can work if you really believe in long-term growth trends. Honestly, I treat these as the “fun slice” of my portfolio—VT/VXUS/VWO stay as the backbone. Curious, what drew you to EWY at first?
I’m bullish on North Korea.
They’re called indices
