iShares recently introduced its third new advisor tool of the year which debuts shortly after their Desk-top Widget, an innovative first for advisor websites that we track. The new International Exposure Tool is a comprehensive device that allows advisors to show clients the country and sector composition of international iShares ETFs. This is the first international investment tool to be offered by any firm in our coverage group, and it is extremely impressive in its scope, customization options, and import capability into the preexisting Index Comparison Tool. 

The tool, accessible from the Portfolio Construction Tools page of the Tools & Charts tab, assesses the country and sector of international funds or portfolios in order to help advisors choose the best international investment strategy for their client. The tool can also compare country or sector exposure for any two iShares portfolios.
