DATA SCIENCE AND INVESTING

There is a large number of ETF products in the market to invest in different ideas, like investing in a specific index, a foreign market or a new trend... With the investment in a basket of securities, there comes a promise of security. An investment in a market index like the S&P 500 is an investment in 500 of the best companies of the U.S. economy. With the MSCI World comes exposure to the largest publicly traded companies of all developed markets. And with the MSCI ACWI this is extended by investments in both developed and emerging markets... With broad diversification the single security risk becomes less important, as the future of a whole economy of a country or group of countries becomes more important than the outlook of a single company.
