Callum, I think you pretty much nailed it: this is probably an important turning point based on many factors. I am slowing allocating into this area. I have tried to find a 'frontier' markets ETF available in the US and it seems the last one was eliminated several years back. (Probably a good sign from a contrarian point of view)

Thanks Steve. Yes that was disappointing (and I noted half in jest around the time that it might be a bullish signal and sure enough Frontier equities rallied substantially over the past year!). But yes unfortunately there's no more FM equity ETF, I believe the only way to access it now is through a managed fund...

When you say EM, which countries do you include? Thanks for the allocation reminder as always Caleb:)

Oh yes, I should have mentioned, I am just going with the MSCI definitions -- see their latest country classifications chart here: https://www.msci.com/indexes/index-resources/market-classification
