Insightful analysis. I'm curious—what's your reasoning behind choosing ETFs for your India exposure, while opting for individual stocks in your China and global allocations?

ndian stocks are hardly listed outside of India, and I like to maintain all of my portfolio in one place - just my IBKR account - partly for convenience, partly so I have maximum margin capacity if I ever need it.
With China, there are plenty of high quality Chinese companies listed in HK and available to retail foreign investors, and hence easy to pick stocks.
That said, I have considered picking up a good Chinese ETF and load up on it too. Either way is fine, I think.
