Even though I expect this ETF to outperform the S&P, I must point out that it's currently selling at a 25% premium to its NAV! Buyers at this level are one geopolitical shock away from an evaporation of this premium. I would buy GAF instead. It's heavily weighted towards South Africa (gold!) but its second largest concentration is Israel without the ridiculous premium.
