"If you look at the IHDG, they tend to strip out a lot of the financials, so it's the higher-quality stocks within Europe" that don't carry the same risk profiles as the broader European indices, Davi said.

Alfred Eskandar, co-founder, president and chief operating officer at Salt Financial, said investors have to make a call on what's going to happen in the euro zone before buying in.

"When you're looking at Europe, you've got to look at it in two ways: One is do you believe that there's going to be some [quantitative easing] out of the [European Central Bank], and if so, then you're going to need something that's currency-hedged," he said. "If not, then you're going to want to look for broad regional or even specific-country exposure.
