Foreign Sector ETFs

WisdomTree looks like it has the go ahead on its foreign sector ETFs. There is not too much I could on the website just yet but I did find a PDF with names and ticker symbols.

Basic Materials (DBN)
Communications (DGG)
Consumer Cyclical (DPC)
Consumer Non-Cyclical (DPN)
Energy (DKA)
Financial (DRF)
Healthcare (DBR)
Industrial (DDI)
Technology (DBT)
Utilities (DBU)

For now all I can say is I am favorably disposed to the concept but I will write more about these when I can see the composition maybe as soon as today? Intuitively I would think this would be a good way to capture financials and telecom but we'll see.

Just recently iShares rounded out its foreign sector line up but those blend foreign and domestic. For investors that do not want to take single stock risk these funds offer more choice and access for better diversification.
