Asian Stocks: 4 Great Funds for a Far East Surge
We've all heard that diversification is good for a portfolio. Considering that the U.S. stock market is at record highs, and stocks are about as pricey as they get, investors may want to consider spreading around some of their risk. And Asian stocks might be the best place in the world for that right now.

Value to be Had With Asia ETFs
Developed Asia and some related single-country ETFs, including the iShares MSCI Japan ETF (EWJ) , the largest Japan-related ETF on the market, are currently offering compelling discounts relative to other major developed markets. “As of the end of July, Japanese equities remain the cheapest equity market in the developed world.
