Grappling with the bear
Article Abstract:
The choices and access to more markets for investors in Asian equities may have expanded but between 1991 and 1992 most markets have suffered declines and most options proved to be wrong. These circumstances implied the state of the troubled economies in some of the world's largest financial markets. However, international bonds and European currencies continued to offer double-digit eturns for the shrewd investor. Asian investors chose to invest in Asian economies which have also demonstrated high growth rates. Those who are looking to invest in Asia must avoid markets where economic recovery is dependent on external factors.

Not a happy bunch: World Bank/IMF meeting wasn't the party many expected
Article Abstract:
The threat of economic and stability in Asia overshadowed the annual World Bank/International Monetary Fund conference held in September 1997 in Hong Kong. The 50th anniversary meeting had been expecting to celebrate the transformation of Asia's agrarian nations into world-class economies but was dominated by currency collapses and plunging equity markets. However, many participants, including international investor George Soros, expressed their confidence that Asia would return to prosperity and that the setback is only temporary.

Spring snooze: Asia's weary fund managers took a cautious tack in second quarter
Article Abstract:
Asia's stocks rose modestly in the second quarter of 1995, leaving only Hong Kong with a broad rise in the first six months, though selected stocks in most markets did well. Fund managers throughout Asia favored blue-chip or big-cap stocks in the more liquid markets, with some looking to strong second-line companies to flesh out portfolios. A few managers think Asians are giving bearishness too much weight, especially in China. Taiwan and S Korea were among the biggest losers in the second quarter.
