What I like about this ETF is that it is vested in Africa, which has a bright future for the next couple of decades or so; especially when the Chinese are exploiting this continent's docility. What I don't like about it is that it is sanguine on the Middle East. We'll see how it unfolds. I will play this year by year. Should at least retain its current valuation for another year, ceteris paribus.
