    Why Caution Is Required With Argentina ETFs

    The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) and the iShares MSCI Argentina and Global Exposure ETF (AGT) are both sporting double-digit year-to-date gains, but some analysts see lingering fiscal risks for Argentina’s economy.

    The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (ARGT) , the largest US-listed exchange traded fund tracking Argentine equities, is down 12.30% over the past month, making it one of the worst-performing single-country ETFs over that period.
