    • Investing in Africa: The World's Last Great Opportunity [view article]
      Even thought the name and marketing concept on this ETF are nice, I think the composition of the index leaves a lot to be desired.

      It should be pointed out that the countries are:
      Morroco - 6.25% (not sub saharan)
      Egypt - 5.69% (not sub saharan)
      Jordan - 2.86% (not sub saharan)
      Israel - 18.77% (certainly not sub saharan)
      South Africa - 65.69% !!!!! (subsaharan BUT why not invest in the SA ETF?)
      Bermuda .72% (not since tectonic shifts has this been part of Africa)

      This doesnt look like a broadbased play on developing sub saharan africa from a country standpoint? Where is Nigeria, Zamibia, Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Botswana etc?

      Just because the name is good doesnt mean the ETF is good.
