Some of the Top Holdings:

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (one of the leaders in producing generic pharmaceuticals): 9.46%
MTN Group (Mobile Telecommunications company in South Africa): 5.87%
Impala Platinum Holdings (2nd largest platinum producer in the world): 5.57%
Sasol Limited (Coal-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid fuel focus, along with oil and gas exploration in Africa): 5.25%

These companies and many of the others (Remgro, Anglo Platinum, etc...) in this ETF are certainly worth taking the time to look into them.

My opinion and $2.00 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks, but here goes anyway:

Tremendous risk-reward potential here. I'm holding onto this one until retirement.
