Will this ETF continue its string of recent losses? Let’s take a closer look at the fund, its recent downturn, the category it resides in, and its ratings and outlook to get a sense of whether its momentum is sustainable or not.

Inside NGE’s Losses

The fund has now returned -5.01% over the past month, -5.14% over the past three months, and -8.75% in the past six months.

A Look Under The Hood

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF is an Equity-focused product issued by Global X Management. Its expense ratio of 0.93% makes it the #74 cheapest ETF among 77 total funds in the Emerging Markets Equities ETFs category.

NGE currently boasts just $27.95M in assets under management (AUM), placing it #49 of 77 ETFs in its category, and #1215 of 1916 total ETFs in the U.S. exchange traded universe.

The investment objective of the Global X Nigeria Index ETF is to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI All Nigeria Select 25/50 Index. This Nigerian index has been hammered this year amid continued economic and political turmoil in the country.

NGE SMART Grade: More Losses Ahead?

NGE currently has an ETF Daily News SMART Grade of D (Sell), and is ranked #65 of 77 funds in the Emerging Markets Equities ETFs category.

A SMART Grade of D suggests very little future price growth potential, so it’s reasonable to expect even more losses ahead for this beleaguered fund.
