Emerging market small caps with high dividend yield may offer shelter (DGS, rated BUY)

July 4, 2008

The fund invests in emerging market small caps with high dividend yield.

Why invest?
The fund is highly diversified with high exposure to Taiwan which is a country I am extremely bullish on as it will directly benefit from the growth of China.
South Africa does face problems due to power shortages but the fact remains that it is very resource rich.
Thailand and Turkey are undervalued especially Turkey.

Honestly they didn’t mean anything to me.I just put it there for the curious-I am not going to research 398 stocks for a virtual portfolio.I am still in shock from the sheer number-how can they go through all those balance sheets and study the businesses etc is beyond me.This work is much much harder than I thought.
