Asian index funds can be trickier than U.S. counterparts
Article Abstract:
Investing in Asian index funds is a lot trickier than investing in US index funds because information flow is more difficult in the Asian markets. Investing is more prone to swing on big trades due to the higher costs incurred and the presence of fewer investors in the market. The inefficiencies in the regional markets of Asia make managers more valuable because they can adjust a fund's portfolio.
