Looking at this as alternative to long held and depressing BEMO and JEMI, already have MMIT and AEMC…sitting on hands trying to work out consequences of the unholy alliance between China and taliban.
....could easily be beneficiaries of the rotation out of China.

Bought more because sentiment is turning to these countries who were less affected by Covid and have raced ahead.

This one seems to be going no where in particular Runner, what are your thoughts? I like the country and sector spreads but nothing seems to be moving. ANW has just taken a step forward, if you fancy another look?
"Data from the InterContinental Exchange (ICE) published on Monday showed that hedge fund and money managers have hiked their long positions, or bets, on the price of oil rising to record highs. Investors have increased their net long positions in internationally traded Brent crude from 22,171 lots to 342,460 in the week to March 1, which is the highest level on record, since ICE began collecting data in 2011. "
Good volumes driving this one now. Onwards and upwards. JP

Correct me if I am wrong but last time I looked at this one it was significantly invested in Kuwait and Nigeria, now it appears to have diversified pretty dramatically. This looks much more interesting (with the exception of Kazakhstan and Caribbean,which I am not mad keen on) Benchmark Sector Analysis Gross assets(%)* Country Analysis Gross assets(%)* Financials 34.8 Bangladesh 10.4 Consumer Staples 20.1 Argentina 10.2 Telecommunications 9.9 Pakistan 9.6 Energy 9.1 Romania 8.1 Utilities 6.0 Kuwait 7.8 Health Care 5.5 Sri Lanka 7.7 Industrials 5.1 Kazakhstan 7.3 Consumer Discretionary 3.6 Ukraine 6.0 Technology 2.1 Morocco 4.9 Materials 1.7 Kenya 4.9 Information Technology 1.4 Vietnam 4.3 ----- Nigeria 4.0 Total 99.3 Eurasia 3.1 ----- Caribbean 2.6 Short positions -1.7 Slovenia 2.2 === Estonia 1.9 Other 4.3 ----- Total 99.3

I was in Ghana a few weeks ago, we got to meet with some economists there. Due to falling commodity prices,gov spending, poor tax revenue they will begin an IMF programme soon. The currency has devalued and the short and medium term outlook is bleak. I know this doesn't have great exposure to Ghana but last i looked it does in Nigeria. If you can do some research on the macro enonomy in Nigeria it may be useful , Ghana is its neighbour (elections due this year and Liberia and Sierra Leone, Ebola countries, in the region). Please do your reserch on this one. Good luck chaps, I still have it on a watching brief.

Hi Benthedog, I recommend that you consult with a qualified financial advisor as it is a bit complicated depending on your decision (unless you decide to do nothing - but there will be consequences to that too). I would not rely on the advice of strangers on the chat boards.
I am new to all this. Does anyone understand what the 'Tender Offer' is all about. How does it work and what happens if you don't accept it? Plus what is the offer price? It's not stated anywhere.

Doubling holding here this week.
Really oversold now IMO, along with BRFI and BRCI. To drip feed into. Great returns by 2020.

This has held up very well all considered, with oil and mining and minerals the way they are. One of my better ones over the last 3 months. More needed.

Well Stuzeeuk the price is waiting for you. I am placing an order for another £6k here today.
Hi Runner, Yes I am seriously thinking of buying in now, but i will need to do some juggling. I was well impressed with Nigeria when I was out there, Lagos looks like its on the up and up. Also I get a sense that Nigeria is begining to have a regional impact. With Ebola on the retreat I think its onwards and upwards for this one.
Now oil heading back over $60, and hopefully higher, we should see confidence coming back into frontier countries - many with a good chunk of income from selling oil.
Oil $47.43 today - still falling!

Surely the oil price cant sink too much further? Maybe the timing is finally right.....
I assume the stagnation is due to oil prices, being weighted in Nigeria and Kuwait. With Ebola on the retreat ... and wondering when we can hit the bottom, as far as oil prices go, then, timing could be good for this one.
Confidence in the future falls, therefore sells outweigh buys. I very much doubt it is specific. I suppose. Cheers.
