What is the concept of investing in Asia?
|
|
Asia Pacific ex-Japan funds are those that invest the majority of their assets in the equities domiciled in, or in the companies that derive a significant proportion of their revenue from this region. The IA and AIC both require funds to hold at least an 80 per cent allocation to such securities in order for them to be eligible for inclusion in the bodies’ respective Asia Pacific sectors.
Many vehicles have sprung up in an aim to derive returns across the region – with single country funds emerging as the region has become more developed. In particular, China- or India-focused funds have surfaced. However, investing across the Asia Pacific region as a whole benefits from diversification – which limits single country risk – and so may be better suited to more risk-averse investors.
Investors are placing their fortunes in the prosperity of the region as a whole and as this may be alien to many it is important to select a manager that understands these markets well.
