In general some form of international investing provides a better balance in you portfolio.

By investing in assets with varying characteristics (us vs Asia, bonds vs stocks, realest vs bonds, and so on) you are going to have a portfolio with less risk for the expected return than if you owned only one type of asset. It is kind of like not putting all your eggs in one basket.

So yes, some amount of Asian investing should be considered for you. You need to realize of course, that Asia is a big place - so simply choosing to invest in Asia is only a very small step in actually making the investment

We use a financial adviser and along with 40 other people attended a mid year briefing. Many of the investors were upset that the adviser did not have them in the Asian Market. The company's policy is to investigate potential investments by going out and speaking with the CEOs and staff. That this was not a good time. Well quite a few of these investors went and bought into Asian funds on their own. This last general meeting and I asked a few "How did the funds do?"
Not well, we didn't know enough about the companies.
So lesson learned, do your homework and if you are paying someone else, then heed the advice.

If you chose a decent mutual fund, its an awesome idea. I've heard my Grandfather made a hell lot out of Taiwanese mutual funds.

It depends on many factors. The amount you want to invest. The risk tolerance you have (along with your age). The broker you have (some brokers do not have access to all funds <especially foreign ones>). Please post additional details with question, and it would help users answer the question.

thanks
