PIE (PowerShares DWA Emerging Market Technical Leaders Portfolio, Expense Ratio 0.90%), EMFN (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Financials Sector, Expense Ratio 0.66%), and UGEM (EGShares Utilities GEMS, Expense Ratio 0.85%) all have weightings to the Philippines for instance (8.05%, 5.10%, and 4.47% accordingly), and are considered broader based EM plays.
At these levels EPHE may trade sideways, especially given the selling pressure and net redemption flows lately coming out of benchmark EM ETFs EEM (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets, Expense Ratio 0.67%) and VWO (Vanguard Emerging Markets, Expense Ratio 0.18%), but regular trading volume and activity has never been higher in this fund, so it is worth watching from both sides of the tape as directional opportunities emerge.
