Asian equities can form part of a strong growth portfolio and are a must consideration for investors who want access to the eastern growth story. Asia can be interesting and complicated, offering a wide range of both old and new companies and developed and emerging markets. Some of these ETFs exclude Japan given how well Japanese equities are covered by dedicated funds, and our selection focuses on offering income, growth from developed countries and growth from both emerging and developed countries. Last year’s category also included two ETFs focusing on China, but in 2018 both have been removed and a new Chinese equity ETF has been added to the emerging market category.
