Money Rolls Into Emerging-Market ETFs Even as Rout Hits Shares

Money managers injected over $600 million of fresh cash into developing-world ETFs on Tuesday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg — a day that saw the MSCI Emerging Markets Equity Index slump by the most since April and currencies tumble against the surging dollar.
