Frontier markets. Some markets are very country focused. You have to look at sector and country concentrations. There will be a lot of volatility. When markets pull back they will but should do well over the next decade.
Had a great 2017 and a decent start in 2018. Holds places like Argentia, Vietnam and Kuwait, places that people aren't exposed to. 0.70% MER. It's different. Has momentum. He recently entered it.
(A Top Pick Apr 05/18, Down 16%) This was an aggressive move. This is like 40% Kuwait and 20% Argentina. He was stopped out. He thinks there is incredible growth on the name. For those with the risk appetite, this is where the ball is going. You have to buckle up though.
(A Top Pick Apr 05/18, Down 14%) In August they got out. He believed that the US market was going to mature and there would be a spill over into this markets. It is doing well in the last couple of weeks. He still likes it for aggressive portfolios now.
Parts of sub-Sahara and the Middle East. It is a notch below the emerging markets. You get exposure including banks, telecom and construction. There is a lot of risk and currency exposure.
