Holly Cook: The three most undervalued sectors globally at the moment according to Morningstar's quantitative equity data are the basic materials sector, the energy sector and the financial services sector. So, I've picked out three ETFs that investors might want to look at if they want exposure to those sectors, but remember these must be niche players. They are quite high risk because they are looking specifically at a sector and aren't therefore broadly diversified.
So, if you wanted exposure to the basic materials sector, one offering is the iShares Global Timber & Forestry ETF which has a ticker of WOOD. This offers exposure to the 25 largest and most liquid companies that are supplying forests and timberland and it comes with an ongoing charge of 0.65%.
For exposure to the energy sector, one ETF that you might want to look at is the Lyxor MSCI World Energy ETF which has a ticker of NRGG and this is offering exposure to companies that are operating across the whole energy sector around the world and comes with an ongoing charge of 0.4%.
Last but not least, for exposure to the financial services sector, the Source STOXX Europe 600 Optimised Banks ETF, which has a ticker of X7PP, also offers exposure to many of the largest and most liquid banks in Europe and this comes with an ongoing charge of 0.3%.
Do remember, these are niche players, but these are possible ideas for those wanting exposure to these three undervalue sectors.
