Although well known, the arguments for investing in Asian equities remain compelling. India now boasts an emerging middle class; China is the engine for global recovery; while more mature economies, such as Singapore and Korea offer, well-established companies with large exposure to the budding markets of Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. The problem is knowing which companies to invest in. Private investors here in Blighty are stuck with little of the information that Asia specialists get day-to-day. Due to this, we reckon the way to play the region is to buy an investment trust with a successful fund manager, good performance and a proven investment process. The Aberdeen Asian Smaller Companies investment trust offers exactly that.
