In Asia funds, smaller was beautiful
Article Abstract:
Smaller Asian funds performed better than the larger funds in the first quarter of 2001 because they can trade smaller stock amounts with less worries about price fluctuations. The smaller funds are also permitted to short-sell stocks when their prices are about to fall. Related tables show top Asian funds by region and equity-oriented funds.
