The DB Brazil one is no different. The additional risk of the synthetic ETF is that counterparty risk. ie the counterparty goes bankrupt and cannot pay up. This risk is real and ETF investors cannot avoid it. With investment, there is always risk. So ultimately just have to manage it. The way I would do it would be to limit the absolute amt that I put in.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292158817395898619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28086856.post-30538365366144428362010-12-17T23:19:24.349+08:002010-12-17T23:19:24.349+08:00hi, how do you check the PE Ratio of an index?
