EGPT Factset Analytics Insight
EGPT is the only ETF choice for Egyptian equities. While the fund offers reasonable exposure to the space, access isn't cheap. The fund has acceptable median daily volume but very wide spreads. Coupled with its 98 bp expense ratio, EGPT's all-in cost is high. Political turmoil shut down the Cairo exchange in spring of 2011, forcing Market Vectors to halt creations briefly. Investors should monitor the volatile condition in Egypt closely. Still, EGPT delivers adequate coverage. Most of the distortions in exposure result from 1940 Act diversification requirements, which explain why the fund's sector breakdown differs materially from our unconstrained benchmark. The diversification rules also push the fund toward smaller firms relative to our benchmark. Given the on-and-off political unrests and the new political regime, investors should exercise extreme caution.
