Analyst Report

The Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF is part of the firm’s legacy line-up of country funds. While there are other country-specific ETFs out there, PAK is the only one to exclusively target Pakistani equities. The fund tracks an MSCI index of the largest and most-liquid Pakistani companies. The portfolio includes about 30 stocks of companies that are either based in Pakistan, listed on local markets or whose revenues are primarily from the country. PAK charges a relatively steep management fee for a passive fund, but investors for fast and easy exposure to Pakistan equities via a U.S.-listed fund shouldn’t be deterred by a few extra basis points in fees.

As with many country-specific funds, especially in emerging and frontier markets, liquidity can be a challenge, and large block orders could trigger price distortions in the underlying market. Investors should expect wider spreads and poor tracking.

Investors looking for broad exposure to emerging markets can find cheaper one-stop-funds like the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO), and those seeking frontier markets might consider the iShares MSCI Frontier 100 ETF (FM), which isn’t as cheap as VWO but comes with a lower management fee than PAK.
