    Since WAEMX is closed, WAFMX might be worthy of consideration.

    Interesting that Thornburg THDIX is up more than 8% ytd, and Wasatch WAEMX is up almost 3%. This article reflects the medias' focus on short-term numbers. Too bad a lot of people will read this sort of thing and jump ship. Heaven forbid any sector have a down quarter (or year)!

    TRAMX is up 2.98% ytd, too. And up 12.81% over the past one year, exactly. Is that "EM" or FT? (Frontier?) Either way...

    Reply to @BobC: I think index and most emerging market funds are dominated by BRIC countries. Several members of the BRIC is doing terribly recently. Those others that has flexibility and used those to their advantage has done well. There are not many of these so for most investors the article is their reality.
