Fundsters interested in the aftermath of the turmoil in Egypt may want to take a look at today's issue of the Wall Street Journal. Jonathan Burton cites a number of regular mutual funds and ETFs that invest in Egypt and thus have the most riding on how well the Egyptian markets do well now that Hosni Mubarak is out. (The Egyptian stock exchange re-opens on Wednesday.)

Rowe Price Africa & Middle East Fund [see profile], Templeton Frontier Markets Fund [see profile] and WisdomTree Middle East Dividend Fund [see profile].
