Investing on fund is a good way to increase your capital. Emerging market is a good choice, but you need know the risk you can take first. However, the coming years will be quite good, those countries are Brasil, Russia, India and China.
India and China are the largest population countries and theire govenment are opening their doors to foreign countries for investment. Also the needs from their own countries, it will growth for the few years coming.
Brasil, the largest export iron country in the world, even China buy iron from them. Also it have copper and other materials. And the political is more stable then before, and they start pay off their debt. So it will be another option for foreign countries to invest.
Russia, it is the second large producer of oil after OPEC. The oil price can affect the market and it is a big brother of Eastern Europe. So it economy will be quite stable to growth asa well.
It really does not matter to invest on funds, because it is not a short term investment. Funds is a long term investment, e.g. 5-10 years. So it can acheive your goal. And fund has no highest price, because the it will keep changing their profolio. Therefore no need to worry too much about the too high. (Remember one thing, fund is not stock. You need to sell and buy too often to gain the profit.)
For those funds, we call it BRIC. it is a high risk catergory, other then that, the Asia market is not bad, also some mining funds is not a bad choice.
To invest on fund, you must need to know the plan, the charges, penalty. Then it is quite save to invest.
