Spanish-based stocks, ETFs, and closed end funds (CEFs).

I start with the iShares Spain ETF (EWP) and list the stocks that have ADRs publicly traded on the NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ, and thus have a liquid market for US investors. I also include the holdings of the Spain Fund (SNP), a closed end fund devoted to Spain stocks. SNP is trading at a 20% premium to NAV, which might make it pricey.

I also include US based stocks that have or may want a presence in Spain, as well as European based companies with significant business in Spain.

Closed end mutual fund focused on Spain. As of July 5, 2007, up 11.1% YTD. However, it trades at a 20% premium over its NAV, which might mean that there's not too much upside potential.

  • WMT
    Wal Mart Stores
  • $51.25
  • -0.06%
  • $51.03

Has no presence in Spain and might have difficulty entering the Spanish market because of competition with France's Carrefour and Spain's Corte Ingles. In July, 2006, Wal Mart abandoned the German market. In Germany, analysts say, Wal-Mart never got traction in a market characterized by unrelenting price competition, well-established discounters and the cultural resistance of German shoppers to hypermarkets, which sell fresh vegetables a few aisles away from lawn mowers.
