New Gulf Countries ETF

iShares have just launched a new regional ETF onto the LSE.

http://uk.ishares.com/fund/fund_overview.do?fundId=200134

Based on the MSCI GCC index (http://www.msci.com/gcc/overview.html) except Saudi Arabia. This results in it being basically 90% in Kuwait, UAE and Qatar, and it's 80% in financials and telcos.

With a TER of 0.80% it's not the cheapest ETF around but might be interesting if somebody feels the need to diversify into that area.
