Developed Asia equity mutual funds and ETFs own equity securities listed on... Developed Asia equity mutual funds and ETFs own equity securities listed on developed nation stock exchanges across Asian countries, including Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. They can be actively or passively managed, and, depending on their mandate, may invest in one or more countries. Active funds will tend to overweight different markets depending on factors such as relative economic growth, valuations, and dividend yields. Investors are attracted to Developed Asia equity mutual funds and ETFs because they offer the stability of developed markets, while benefiting from the higher growth that Asia has recorded compared to Europe and North America. Conglomerates (such as Mitsubishi of Japan) are a feature of Developed Asian markets. These large companies can form a significant part of portfolios, and offer exposure to a wide variety of industries for investors. Developed Asia equity mutual funds and ETFs come with moderate risk. They aren’t as risky as Developing Asia funds, but arguably a bit riskier than U.S. based funds given the geopolitical risks in certain parts of Asia. Last Updated: 12/20/2024 View more View less
