iShares MSCI Chile ETF

Overall, it's been a difficult year, natural resources not the place to be. Rough performance right now is looking to be roughly flat. As something of an outlier, I have bought iShares Chile ETF. I was looking for cheap stocks around the world and Chile leapt out as ridiculously cheap. Next targets are more stocks in China / South America, and potentially some PE funds / fund of funds / similar ideas in the UK.
