Monday, April 8, 3:17 PM VelocityShares launches 3 emerging market ETFs comprised exclusively of depository receipts (DRs) listed in developed countries. The funds cover broad Emerging Market DRs (EMDR), Emerging Asia DRs (ASDR) and Russian DRs (RUDR). By sticking to DRs, the 3 new funds are far more concentrated in their holdings than existing ETFs in the space (example, EMDR has 305 holdings vs. 1,280 for IEMG). The 0.65% charged by the funds means they're generally pricey relative to established competitors like IEMG/VWO (0.18%), EEM (0.66%), SCHE (0.15%), GMF (0.59%), RSX (0.62%) and ERUS (0.60%). Comment!
Tuesday, December 13, 2011, 11:04 AM Mike Riddell returns from a trip to Asia with video diary actually feeling a bit better about Chinese property where he says there is no evidence of a bubble in the tier 2 and tier 3 cities. One story we may start hearing more about is Asian reliance on trade finance provided by European banks who are certain to be pulling back from the business as they deleverage. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, December 6, 2011, 2:53 AM Asia is facing "much greater downside risks" because of the possibility of new recessions in the U.S. and EU, and the threat of destabilizing capital flows, says the Asian Development Bank. The possibility of another global financial crisis means Asian countries must have "sufficient flexibility" to rapidly adjust policies. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Tuesday, November 29, 2011, 9:04 AM Europe's issues are secular and global, writes Bill Gross, "reflecting worldwide delevering and growth dynamics that began in 2008." In this environment, 5% long term portfolio growth will put investors near the top of the class. Focus on the "cleanest dirty shirts" - U.S., Canada, U.K., and Oz - as well as a resource-rich EMs like Brazil. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, November 17, 2011, 9:59 AM Inflation worries have quickly been replaced in Asia, where recently hawkish central banks - Indonesia and South Korea to name two - are either sitting on their hands or beginning to slash rates as 2012 starts to look bleak. Of course, China is the gorilla, and, as of yet, hasn't begun to lift its clampdown on credit. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, January 31, 2011, 4:15 AM The unrest in Egypt is roiling Asian markets, as investors dump riskier assets. The one exception has been China, which is +1.4%, despite increased censorship steps. Elsewhere: Japan -1.2%, Hong Kong -0.7%, India -1.4%, Indonesia -2.25%, Korea -1.8%. Comment! [Global & FX]
