Emerging Market ETFs and Asia's Evolving Labor Costs [View article]
You have a good point. I should have put up India as an additional reference. India would have not have been in the green section because not all time periods have been positive.
The results for the two best performing India ETFs are as follows (results are given in the same order as the table: 1 year, 6 months, 3 months)
EPI - +25.9%, +8.2%, -1.8%
INP - +24.8%, -1.1%, -3.0%

All returns are percentage returns based on USD (ERFs traded in New York) except for the Lion Global Philippine Fund which is in SGD (Singapore dollars). I could have looked up the exchange rate history for USD/SGD and made the correction but I didn't think to do that. If I had thought of it I might have not done it anyway out of laziness. I would have rationalized that most readers could not trade the fund so getting a more accurate comparison would not have added much benefit.
Now I expect to get a complaint from someone in Singapore that I am not serving them well.
And to readers in The Phillippines (if any) I appologize for misspelling the country in the table.
