Claymore Launches First Ever Frontier ETF; PowerShares, Van Eck Close Behind [View article]
It's disappointing to see Nigeria as the sole representative, at a tiny 3%, from all of Africa! When will more countries in sub-saharan Africa be included in these so-called frontier market funds ? Growth in that region over the past few years has been phenomenal! Even TRAMX which invests in Africa and the Middle East, has little to no exposure to sub-saharan Africa, barring a significant chunk in South Africa, which is hardly a "frontier" market.
