Video Transcript

"With all the popularity of the Chinese boom in economy and the capital market, many people are wondering: How do I invest in Chinese stocks? Great question. One of the things that you want to consider is how do you cross the border and invest in a country who has a very different stock market than the U.S. does? One of the simplest ways to do this is to choose to invest in an exchange traded fund or a mutual fund that specializes in Chinese stocks. In addition, to get more diversification than just one country, you may want to consider a fund that invests in all countries in a certain area. For example, the Far East, emerging markets, South America, anything like that. The reason to consider this is it gives you additional diversification, and you're not subject to the rise and fall of just one country's economy. One of the best benefits, also, to using an exchange traded fund or a mutual fund to invest in a specific country's stocks is that you're utilizing a manager whose job it is to do nothing but research those particular companies. In addition, the mutual fund handles the problems that can arise around exchange rates, currencies, and rules and regulations governing foreign stock exchanges."
