Frontier And Emerging Market ETFs, ETNs And Closed-End Funds 8 comments
All below are ETFs to my knowledge unless specified as closed-end funds or ETNs. This is not intended to be a complete list but my best effort at it. Please put suggestions and corrections in the comments below.
If you like this list please do me the three courtesies of registering and following me on Seeking Alpha, and crediting me if you use it elsewhere.
It is your obligation to double-check the accuracy of the investments listed and investigate how well each investment vehicle performs before investing. Your investments require your own due diligence.
For closed-end funds, CEF Connect is an excellent starting place for data.
If you use ETNs, make sure you understand the definition and risks.
Additional detail will be added as I have time or it supplied by readers in the comments.

A complete list of my disclosures regarding Mongolia may be found at the Mongolia Weekly Update which also serves as my home page for Mongolia-related topics. I have no other germane disclosures in accounts I personally manage at this time. I have an account managed by a broker that is managed at his discretion and may trade linked ETFs, ETNs and closed-end funds listed from time to time at his discretion, however I have no input in that decision making process.

I receive no compensation from any entity to make and maintain this list.

Much obliged,

One of the lessons of history is that societies and countries evolve from success to failure and then to success or continuous success or failure. The USA is clearing past it's peak of success and headed downward toward failure. Henry Kissenger once reported a conversation he once had with a high level Chinese diplomat who said, " Democracy in the USA is a fad. Once a majority of the people in the US learn that they can vote to receive services and money from the government, the US is finished. Look around you. Easy to see. 51% of the people in the US receive a check each month from the government. The debt of the US is 16.4 trillion dollars. More and more people will vote to receive money from the government,which will eventually cause the decline of the US just as predicted by the Durants in their scholarly work.
Lesson 1: invest in well run countries that are just beginning their growth: emerging and frontier markets. All of Europe of is just ahead of us in their decline; the Asian countries and Latin American countries are just beginning. Selective investments, yes. In sustainable growth, yes.
Lesson 2: Get an excellent education that is fueled primarily by individual study of difficult topics that put you in a high level competitive position for professional success.
Lesson 3: Save your pennies, nickels and dimes. The flood of Noah is just a sprinke of rain compared to what is coming.

If I have the time down the road, I would do it. It makes sense. This is about global perspective. Right now, I can't tackle that task time-wise.
I'm not happy to say that, but I'm just one person, and I haven't figured out how to "do it all" yet.
"Global X's launch of the first ever ETF covering Central Asia republics and Mongolia AZIA. The fund's portfolio will be spread between Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan"

Hope it will stay something longer than FISN and BARN.
