Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the World ETFs. VXUS has an expense ratio of 0.07% and VEA charges 0.05%. Vanguard Total International Stock ETF has $45.65 billion in assets, Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF has $92.76 billion. Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS) tracks FTSE Global All Cap ex US Index and the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA) tracks FTSE Developed All Cap ex US Index. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider. Vident International Equity ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the World ETFs segment of the market. With about 249 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk. The fund has a beta of 0.94 and standard deviation of 23.67% for the trailing three-year period, which makes VIDI a medium risk choice in this particular space. VIDI has traded between $21.22 and $27.96 during this last 52-week period. The ETF has lost about -15.07% and is down about -15% so far this year and in the past one year (as of ), respectively. Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 8.08% of VIDI's total assets under management. Taking into account individual holdings, Cash & Other (Cash&Other) accounts for about 1.26% of the fund's total assets, followed by Tgs Asa (TGS) and Loblaw Companies Ltd (L). ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it's still important for investors to research a fund's holdings. Most ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. It's 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 6.65%. Operating expenses on an annual basis are 0.61% for VIDI, making it on par with most peer products in the space. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same. Investors should also pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.

The fund is sponsored by Vident Financial. Methodologies like equal-weighting, one of the simplest options out there, fundamental weighting, and volatility/momentum based weighting are all choices offered to investors in this space, but not all of them can deliver superior returns. The research data will be used within a large consortium of space agencies (ESA, NASA, DLR), companies (ISISpace), and key academic players (Embry-Riddle, Polimi, among others) to define technology development requirements, propose a technology demonstration mission and take the first step towards fuel-free space debris removal.These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics. For this they will use flight-data from NASA’s ACS3 solar-sail mission. The Vidi grant allows Heiligers and her team to derive the dynamical models, be the first to solve the optimisation problem and use machine learning techniques to solve the travelling salesman problem. Also, a complex optimisation problem needs to be solved to determine how the ‘space duster’ can move efficiently between debris objects and an answer needs to be found to a never-before solved travelling salesman problem to determine which pieces of debris to remove in which order. At the moment for instance there are no high-fidelity solar-sail Earth-bound dynamical models. To determine whether they’re useful as a propulsion tool for clearing debris around Earth more research is needed. One of the challenges is that until now the transfer capabilities of solar sailing have predominantly been investigated in interplanetary space. The challenging first step towards fuel free space debris removal
