I was looking for an ABF, Asian Bond Fund, for my portfolio.
There is the Pan Asia Bond ETF listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange... but I have to ask my brokerage (Vanguard) if they can purchase that ETF for me... that ETF may not yet be cross listed on exchanges available to Vanguard.
I'll have to ask Vanguard.

Anyways, while browsing through BusinessWeek's Mutual Fund Scoreboard looking for the worst Real Estate funds (looking for a possible buying opportunity; rule 1, "buy low", I came across this Asian Real Estate Fund.
Very interesting.
Olympics in China next year:-)
If Asian economy goes south, the locals may invest their hard earned income into hard assets.
That's what I'm thinking.
I generally avoid loaded funds as a rule... but this may be an exception.
