The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF offers direct, liquid exposure to Colombia with a 0.62% expense ratio and $200M in assets.

Colombia faces macro headwinds: persistent inflation, central bank credibility issues, El Nino-driven inflationary pressures, and fiscal tightening.
COLO: Much Of The Upside Priced In
Colombian equities have delivered a breakout performance, significantly outpacing emerging markets over the past three years. Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (COLO) is positioned to benefit from Colombia's strong economic momentum and equity market outperformance. Recent economic indicators and stock market trends suggest continued positive outlook for Colombian assets relative to broader EM benchmarks.
The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF has surged over 73% YTD, driven by low valuations and momentum, but faces significant concentration risk. COLO is heavily weighted toward Grupo Cibest, which comprises 22.6% of the fund and introduces outsized single-company risk. Despite a 4.81% dividend yield and low P/E ratios, COLO's long-term returns are underwhelming, with a 4.92% CAGR since inception and an extreme risk profile.
