Getting To Know Tokyo
The unique nature of the Japanese stockmarket makes it difficult for Australian retail investors to buy stock directly, so the most practical approach to Japanese investment is through managed funds. The attached resources include: A guide to the most successful Japanese managed funds by returns; A guide to the most successful funds in terms of market share; and An article on the Japanese recovery by Keith Donaldson, a Japan specialist at the Martin Currie group, one of the leading fund managers in Asia.

There is also significant variation in performance and fees (indicated by the MER - Management Expense Ratio) within the range of funds. |
