    They left out the Swiss Helvetica Fund (SWZ, I think) the only single country CEF for Switzerland I know of. Reply

    Update: We just added the new Northern Trust Israel ETF to the list, the NETS TA-25 Index Fund (TAV). Heather Bell writes about this ETF:

    "TAV, however, is not the first of its kind. The iShares complex already offers the competing iShares MSCI Israel Capped Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE Arca: EIS), which charges 0.68%. In a departure for the NETS family, TAV is actually more expensive than its corresponding iShares ETF: It charges 0.70%. EIS was only launched in late March, so it hasn't had time to gain much of a foothold - Northern Trust may be looking to compete with it more on the basis of the underlying index than on price."

    Update: we just added the NETS (Northern Trust Exchange-Traded Shares) S&P/ASX 200 Index Fund (AUS) to the list, which covers Australian stocks.

    Index Universe explains that "the NETS family takes a slightly different approach to country investing than the iShares – Northern Trust has opted to use locally favored indexes in many cases, while iShares, the main existing provider of country-specific ETFs, tends to use MSCI’s country indexes, which are favored by institutional investors."

    TW -- there aren't any emerging market currency ETFs or ETNs yet, but apparently they're in the works. You can view the currently available currency ETFs and ETNs here:
