The suggestion for an Argentina ETF is an excellent one – a very interesting market with some unique investment opportunities. I know that Global X has filed for approval of an Argentina fund that would be based on the FTSE Argentina 20 Index, but it’s tough to tell how far off a launch may be.

Hi – I really appreciate the single-country ETFs and would like to see one for Argentina based on the Merval Stock Index. Having visited Argentina, I can tell you that it is a very tracked country in Latin America. I would also like to see a non-USD currency fund for all non-America sort of like a rotation fund and another Eastern Europe fund without the Soviet Union included. Thanks.

If I were an issuer I would be especially excited about all the opportunities you refer to above in the bond market. It seems to me a lot of the fund launches in the last two years were chasing the ‘hard money’ when there’s easy assets to be had in certain niches of the bond world.
