I am with Stake unfortunately. I was more interested to know the regulations.
Saxo?
Have you seen the Japanese economy lately…?
the nikkei is at all time highs
Yes heard of it. Apparently Japan draws around half of its profit from overseas, mainly SE Asia. That is why I thought to invest where the brightest investors are because they can surf and ride the world regardless of their own location.

You're talking about 2 different things
Investors based in Asia who manage a mutual fund of overseas investments
Vs
Asian stock markets/Asian companiesaren't those investors themselves listed in Singaporean or Japanese markets?
@amorn: If you're trying to follow investment managers based in Japan or Singapore, then first you should identify them and see if they are managing a private fund (which you won't have access to) or an ETF (which you MIGHT get access to)
That's what I understand your thesis is about
@eckorock: yes, just wanted to have my money invested / managed by Singaporean investment managers as directly as possible. Don't they have any equivalent of SOL on ASX rather than a broad and PASSIVE ETF?
@amorn: You should be looking at ETFs in this case, that you want to invest in Asian stocks
All the big companies offer ETF that suit this
iShares, Vanguard, VanEck, etc etc
@amorn: https://platinum-asia.com/singapore-office/
Give them a call, however I doubt they would let you invest in their funds outside of Singapore.
@eckorock: It says "A team of professionals are based in our Singapore office to serve clients in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia." Now I doubt too :)
Have you checked out Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) listed on the Australian market (ASX) which cover the region you are interest in?
Check out the ETF pages of Market Index and ASX.I have been avoiding ETFs because I heard taxation becomes complicated?
Nah, as long as you provide the share registry with your TFN, it is all prefilled in MyTax.
ASX:ASIA
Generally most of them act like normal stocks that give dividends and capital growth. You'll always have to report that.
There are some etfs that are based overseas and that can get a little tricky, but there are plenty of Australian etfs where it's not the case.
For example you may find VAE suits your needs:
"Invest in 1,400 companies from 12 markets across Asia, excluding Japan. The key markets of China, Taiwan, Korea, and India make up around 80% of the exposure "And maybe pair it with a Japanese specific ETF to cover Japan specifically. Note the other Etf mentioned here (Asia) also excludes Japan so would have the same issue.
But given your description, it sounds like you're looking for etfs generally.
How Can Aussies Invest in Asian Markets?
Do it the traditional aussie way - find a bride.
Interesting idea. Actually I am single. How do you invest via a bride?
Pretty sure the Aussie housing market counts
probably it is too tiny and uncertain compared to Asia itself. also Aus isn't where the future success is I guess.
Try buying a property in Sydney? (😂 too soon?)
Moomoo
go to a market, look for asian market stand, and give them money
indeed asians are very competitive and intelligent. Hence I thought about investing there..
That is the opposite of an investment.
webull, moomoo, interactive brokers and more
