Get a Jump On Frontier Markets

Great article! I'm looking forward to these investment opportunities too. In the meantime, the closest thing I could find was the mutual fund TRAMX. It has some significant Africa investments though still mostly Middle East. Might be a good place to pass some time until the vehicles you anticipate come out.

ETF Investing Guide: A Quick Checklist

Hi,
After reading your excellent and helpful guide, I desperately want to get out of my separately managed account and follow the strategies you describe. However, liquidating the 200+ equity positions in the SMA will realize substantial capital gains and a big tax bite. Are there any ways to minimize this impact - for example, strategies for slowly unwinding, or ways of exchanging baskets of positions for ETF shares? Or at least ways of calculating whether its worthwhile to make to the switch?

Thanks!
