EGShares India Small Cap ETF (NYSEArca: SCIN)
May gain: 22.4%
Comment: SCIN was locked in a title battle with the Market Vectors India Small-Cap Index ETF (NYSEArca: SCIF) for top honors last month. The former edged out the latter by just a tenth of a percent. Highlighting the strength of Indian small-caps for much of May is this anecdote: There are just three India small-cap ETFs, but those three, SCIN, SCIF and the iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF (NYSEArca: SMIN), were three of the four best ETFs last month.

Be careful, though. All three fell last week with SCIF and SCIN each losing more than 6%.
