Invest in countries that are outperforming SPY. . EWY, EWZ, EPU, THD, AIA.
I honestly cannot tell if you’re being sarcastic or just lying. I just compared the CAGR of everything you mentioned to look into. Most of them only have tracking back to 2014. So if we start from 2014 to current here are the returns: AIA: 116.8% IZZ: 4.21% IEU: 44.74% EWS: -0.07% SPY: 247.5% I don’t think you can say a 22 year time period is irrelevant especially with how much more the U.S. Market has outperformed what you mentioned.
I’ve been holding 3,200 shares at $2.89 from this morning. The CEO appointment to AIA is extremely bullish aside from all the other reasons. Very bullish on this company
Honestly? I would buy an index ETF (AIA for example), or an actively managed Asia fund run by someone who makes it their job to research for me. If you are an English-speaker born and raised in the US, This is too big a job to be competently done as a side hustle imo
Good details about why it has done so well recently - 43% gain in the past month. I posted on the ETF sub, was looking an "Asia Info Tech" ETF and could only find AIA which has 4.52% of SK Hynix.
What u think about $AIA?
AIA and FXI ETFs are having a great run. Blend of asian exposure. Also worth looking at EWS Singapore.

Yes, definitely add global. My combo above was for baseline US exposure. For global, I have VXUS for broad capture, with additional focus on certain sectors/regions like SHLD, AIA, EWS, EWG, and some others.
Ironically that has a built in solution use that AIA rejecting demand for new drawings approach. If they don’t like it they can prove to a judge it was proper, otherwise the person who sent it must redo and pay for said redo and any delays caused by the same.
Some great options: VXUS - basically the whole market outside the US VEA - the whole developed markets (Europe and Japan/Australia mostly) VWO - the whole emerging markets VYMI and VIGI - international high-dividend and dividend growth ETFs: these are large-cap funds tilted slightly towards value, profitability, and lower volatility VT - the ultimate “I just want average returns” stock, it holds essentially all investable stocks on earth weighted by market cap (size), so you could just sell whatever you have, buy this, and call it a day. Some higher expense ratio options you might want for specific purposes: AVDV and AVES - these are well regarded small-cap value funds for developed and emerging markets FEZ and AIA - these are ETFs of the largest 50 companies in Europe and Asia. If your investing thesis is “I like companies that have already cornered the market because they probably have competitive advantages”, this might be for you
Exports to... everywhere but the U.S. lol. So calls on like... AIA maybe? Idk.
He wants to force other countries to buy more American goods. But he doesn't want their currencies to be strong enough to make that happen And he doesn't want the dollar to lose reserve currency status. He thinks deficits of any kind are bad and that America is being "ripped off" because Americans buy from others more than others buy from America. It really is quite a sight to see the old man who insists that his care aids are stealing from him being able to impact the world economy, but here we are. This was a good time to buy Asian ETFs(like AIA and JPAN ). Some of my Chinese stocks(like BABA) have been doing well. Trump has been good for business for those seeking alternatives to American companies. America's loss can still be your gain as an investor if you're open to looking internationally.
it's really not that important . Export to the US is like 2-3% of the GDP of China, even if you cut it in half, it impacts the GDP by 1-2%. CCP is not gonna collapse if they missed the GDP target by 1 or 2% so they likely won't give a f. Also, most hang sang listed companies have little business in the US especially the large caps. For example Tencent can be totally banned in the US and they won't care. The top large caps in hangsang are BABA, Tencent, HSBC, Meituan, xiaomi, BYD, china mobile, ICBC, CCB, AIA, HKEX. None of them have meaningful business in the US (except BABA may have a small aliexpress business that contributes a tiny of the profit). For Japan I guess people are just betting a deal will be made soon
To hedge against US volatility, will be taking positions in EUAD and AIA today. Don’t think you can really go wrong with those right now.
Even AIA is up by 7%, Gyna rip is insane. 
What makes you think they will hit 60 before 130? AI bubble is popping but they are more than just AIA development. Drop a new graphics card that isn’t just a rebranded 30 series and they ok

You can't actually buy HYMTF as a retail investor. The only ways you can invest are through ETFs that hold hyundai like AIA or EWY or by trading directly on KSE, which is not easy. Korea has historically intentionally made it very difficult for foreigners to trade their stocks.
Consumption is weak in China. Several big holidays went by and the consistent story is the consumer dialing back. Instead of staying in HK, they stay in Shenzhen for example. Either way, best to weather the storm. My CN portfolio is getting carried by HK exchanges, Sun Hung Kai and AIA thankfully. CK hutch, Jardine and YUMC breaking even. Baidu and Baba the laggards.
I'm more interested in this other cannabis related event, also scheduled for 04/00/2024 [https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202310&RIN=1117-AB53](https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202310&RIN=1117-AB53) **Title:** Implementation of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 *"DEA issued an interim final rule amending its regulations to implement the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Public Law 115-334, specifically by amending the definitions of hemp and marihuana, and the* ***listings of tetrahydrocannabinols****. This rule conformed DEA’s regulations to the statutory amendments to the Controlled Substances Act that have already taken effect, and did not add additional requirements to the regulations. DEA is planning to adopt a final rule after consideration of the public comments."* Last year's DEA Supply Chain conference they said they were still working on finalizing the AIA related rule. This is the same conference where they spent a lot of time on Delta 8 and synthetic cannabinoids. The other synthetic cannabinoids they discussed have been placed on schedule 1 already. We are still waiting on Delta 8. Reporting from the conference even said new rules were coming. Then they went silent. [https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-official-says-new-rules-are-coming-for-synthetic-cannabinoids-including-cbd-and-delta-8-thc/](https://www.marijuanamoment.net/dea-official-says-new-rules-are-coming-for-synthetic-cannabinoids-including-cbd-and-delta-8-thc/) That's why I think sometime in April we get the DEA clarifying Delta 8 is illegal. Hopefully at the same time as Schedule 3.

All in on AIA. There is no way China will let America win.
Hong Kong is going to make a huge come back. There are too many good bluechip companies there - Prada, HKEX, Techtronics, AIA group etc. UK FTSE250, when they finally cut rates to stimulate the economy.
I don't plan to add to them in 2024, so they'll likely shrink in my portfolio. I'm not afraid of China exposure, but I may expand on my position in AIA or open a new one in GMF. There's also a few Chinese companies (e.g: NTES, PDD, YUMC, BABA) that I may bite on.
I think ex-Japan ETFs are the better move, personally. Slow growth, abysmal monetary policy, tumultuous domestic politics. As right as people are to be skeptical of China, it's insane to me the people that think China will sabotage their own growth or that foreign institutions (whom they rely upon for FDI, exports, and international market access) in order to stick it to the West. China is cutthroat and I don't think that's a bad thing. $AIA is one of my favorite ETFs. You might also like $GMF. Both have 30-40% China exposure, but also have good exposure to Taiwan, South Korea, and other Asian markets.
AIA?: last night I was quite drunk on my back dack, around 10pm, a neighbor who is kind of a maga dude biker in his 50s was shooting off fireworks which scare the shit out of my dog, and I yelled "I have dogs god damnit, 4th was 2 weeks ago, fucking cool it!!!" after that it was quiet.

Umm... Yeah, U should probably check your enthusiasm. Launching rockets into space is Hella expensive, and highly risky too. Billion-dollar rockets blow up on the launch pad with some regularity. And any private space/launch company needs fat government contracts, or they won't be in business very long. This would definitely be considered a risk-on trade, in the middle of a financial backdrop that's full of uncertainty... **Why Government Contracts Are A Blessing And Curse For Rocket Lab** Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: RKLB) can look very appealing for investors looking to get in on this sector. The company just conducted its first U.S. launch in January. That launch may pave the way for government contracts. That would fuel further revenue growth and **nudge the company toward profitability**. But if you plan to take a position in RKLB stock based on those government contracts, you may want to wait. **Failure to Launch** A recent catalyst for Rocket Lab was its first U.S. launch. And indeed, RKLB stock did soar after the launch. But since then, it’s failed to hold on to those gains and is down 4.19% in the month ending February 24, 2023. That may be due to the general risk-off sentiment returning to the market. But there are decisions to be made in the next six months that could have a much more lasting effect on Rocket Lab. **The Federal Budget is a Mess** And that’s not just partisan hyperbole. Politicians on both sides of the aisle are now sounding the alarm about the growth of government spending. Recently, the Congressional Budget Office issued its Budget and Economic Outlook and led off the overview with the sobering fact that “annual deficits over the 2024-2033 period average $2.0 trillion.” And the United States has a debt-to-GDP ratio of 122%, according to the IMF. This is one of the highest government debt burdens in the world, trailing only Japan with debt-to-GDP ratio of 240.7%, Greece with debt-to-GDP ratio of 139.9%, and Singapore with debt-to-GDP ratio of 127.8% This goes beyond the “third rail” entitlement programs like social security and Medicare. It also includes the cost of servicing the national debt; according to the CBO, it will reach a historical high of 3.6% of GDP in 2033 and go up to 7.3% of GDP in 2053. The problem is clear. But the solution is going to require hard choices. And that brings us back to the issue for Rocket Lab. One of the agencies exposed to budget cuts is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). That’s why in January, the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) began lobbying against the proposed budget cuts. The nation has been here before, and there's always danger suggesting that this time is different. Nevertheless, at the moment, the conversation feels different and more urgent. It’s something to consider if you’re considering RKLB stock.
I just graduated with a professional degree in architecture! Let's see how the job market is doing... "Oh... there are four job postings on the AIA job board. In a month. In the ENTIRE nation." OK... guess I'll call the ones I can drive to in less than 12 hours. Set up appointments with two of them. By the time I got to the interviews, "Well, we *were* hiring, but then five more projects fell through and we laid four people off instead. We'll call you when things get better!" The silver lining is several of the firms I met with did actually call... in 2011... but by then I had found something permanent.
The Fight Continues Despite this patent being found valid FIVE previous times, including by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, Samsung, working in collaboration with Google, filed yet another IPR against the ‘912 patent earlier this year. Congress never intended IPRs to be used to endlessly harass patent-holders. Yet, the PTAB, now under its 4th USPTO Director since the case commenced, has just instituted this challenge. Google, with a market capitalization of over $1 trillion dollars, has now leveraged the system to avoid facing a trial for infringing our seminal patented technology for 13 years. Unfortunately, this is part of a common and predictable playbook for Big Tech companies. Rather than take a license, they exploit the AIA’s IPR process to hold-out and use the technology for free with impunity. The judicial system is not fast to begin with. The IPR process adds years on top of this to tie the hands of patent holders and deny them their day in court. Google and Samsung alone brought 1,185 PTAB challenges between 2012 and 2021. They are not challenging “bad” or “low quality” patents per the original intent of the IPR process. The reality is that Big Tech companies rarely challenge bad patents; they tie up the best patents that pose the greatest competitive threat. The decision to hold out is based on business necessity, not legal merit. An Institutional Fix is the Only Way Forward Netlist will continue to innovate. But I could not in good faith encourage young entrepreneurs with new ideas to assume the U.S. patent system will not be misued by Big Tech. The U.S. patent system was established under the Consititution to promote innovation and encourage practitioners to create disruptive technologies from which the benefits can flow to society at-large. For hundreds of years, the system was the underpinning of our innovation ecosystem and helped make the American economy the most powerful in the world. Over the decade of its existence, the AIA has upended this fundamental precept. A patent today is no longer a quiet title to protect your innovation. Nor is it an incentive to innovate, as it does not protect innovation. Rather the best patents are an invitation to endless, duplicative challenges by the biggest companies allowing them to hold out for years while they use the patented technology for free. Congress needs to end serial and abusive attacks on legitimate patents and patent holders. It can be done; the current system is not what the legislators envisioned when the AIA was passed. The market response to the systemic weakening of our patent system is evidenced by inventors taking their patent applications to China where the numbers of patent issued has grown dramatically over the past few years while the US patent issuances have remained stagnant. At a time when our country is investing hundreds of billions in the semiconductor industry in order to preserve our global competitive advantage, the legislature should roll back the pernicious fallout of the AIA and preserve the original intent of the patent system which helped to create our competitive advantage in the first place.
if you still want a risk reduction asset BTAL is a good bond replacement and requires less to get the same result compared to TLT (20 year plus treasuries etf). MVIX is another option but not as good as it goes down a lot over time. VTI and VOO are basically the exact same fund. Extremely high correlation. You would benefit more from picking some of these for equities. VOE (mid cap value) and VBR (small cap value), "VTV or VOO or VTI" ((large caps) pick one)), VDC ( consumer Staples ( best sector with lowest risk of the last 50 years)) and maybe pick an emerging markets fund. I recommend AIA and XSOE for emerging market.
See a lot of PE/SE, AIA in professional contexts.
look for good dividend stocks split your 1000 into 3 and buy those 3.eg : IBM, Lumen tec, AIA. Now keep working and save another 1000 - keep an eye on these stocks refill on every dip..keep doing this for a few years. Once you have like maybe 9-12 K invested in each stock you could look out for new companies or even before.You will hate it because its slow, but your older self will thank you.

I haven't found a small-cap value developed market ETF that has been on the market for a long time. used to be mutual funds. I decided to go with (DFE) small-cap euro dividend ETF. (SCZ) small cap internal is another option. For emerging markets (AIA) Asian 50 or (XSOE) EM ex-State-Owned Enterprises. (XSOE) gets about 2% more per year compared to (EEM) emerging markets ETF
AIA & EEMA for large-cap Asia (including China) BBH for large-cap biotech ARKK for mid large-cap innovative tech
It certainly should be considered developed by now, IMO. Its strange to me that Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea are usually included in EM funds too. I compared a bunch of EM and SE Asian EM funds a while back and almost all of them had the same Chinese/HK/Korean/Taiwanese stocks, just with slightly different weighting. I want more than just a little bit of India/Brazil/S Africa/Russia/Saudi Arabia/ and some others randomly sprinkled in as an afterthought. Tencent, Alibaba, TSMC, Meituan, JD.com, China Construction Bank, AIA Group, Ping An, and Samsung are the most common top 10 stocks in all the ETFs I looked at.
I have an unfortunate investment in AIA, an Asia large cap ETF which has been devastated lately. I'm 15% down thanks to the recent drops on China news. Think I should stop the bleeding? Or wait it out in hopes that it goes back up? Maybe not actually enough to recover my loss, but just regain some of it. What hurts most is that this was a Roth IRA holding meant to be long term as part of my international investment, so a loss is essentially permanent. I had not intended to even think about this once I put my money in and let it go long term, but recent developments have been bleak.

$AIA is still one of my biggest investments. People are being over-dramatic about how the Chinese government will kill every major corporation in the country, but I don’t buy that. China needs foreign investments to continue competing with the U.S. for the #1 economy. They’ll fix what’s not working. This is a good buying opportunity.

I only invest in broad market asian ETFs. [AIA](https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239730/ishares-asia-50-etf) is good for exposure to Asian megacaps. Playing with small and mid cap Chinese stocks is a crapshoot imho.
Because of similar concerns that others have brought up, I’m more cautious and have them through the AIA ETF instead of directly holding, but ya $200 not a bad price if you’re going to dive in

I'm painfully red on AIA (Four Tigers ETF), down more than 12% - if you'd purchased literally any time this year, you're down. Part of me screams to bail out, but it was a relatively small investment so I'm more inclined to hold. If this were in the taxable account I'd probably just accept my loss and walk away. But sadly it's in the Roth, so losses there are more permanent since I can't add more funds. My question is does it seem like it would be wise to average down at this point, or is this something I should just ride as is? Or should I indeed get out now? Cost basis is currently way up at $98.65 while it just hit $86.55 moments ago.

Anyone feel like the CFO leaving Bridgewater is akin to all the CEO’s stepping down in late 2019, right before the corona crash.

I am holding some Asian ETFs like CHIQ and AIA but I wouldn't try stock picking in China atm.

Yeah, my robo invests in other sectors like retail, healthcare and commodities, which hopefully balances things out. But you have a point about the heavy weightage towards tech. I’m aware of the risks involved with investing in ETFs like PBW and ARKK (let alone my chosen stocks), but it doesn’t help that QQQ and AIA have their own fair share of tech giants.
Any thoughts or Confirmation Bias(/s) will be greatly appreciated! It's my first time choosing stocks/ETFs on my own after several years with a robo, although that still forms the majority of my portfolio. ​ QQQ: 20% AIA: 20% (For non-US/Asian exposure) PBW: 15% ARKK: 15% TSLA: 15% CRSR: 15%
I’d go with 70% ETFs (VOO, AIA, VB, ARKK), 20% individual stocks (should be 4-5 or so), and 10% cash.
I've been holding AIA - an Asian "Four Tigers" ETF (China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore) that has seen nothing but red since I bought. I ended up catching the falling knife in late February near the high. The top holdings are Tencent, TSM, & Samsung... Down just shy of 7% so far. While it could be worse, with the current political tensions of the region adding further pressure on top of recent tech sell-offs, do you think I should cut my losses? Or just hold?
AIA from iShares is also a good option. Heavily concentrated in Tencent, TSMC, and Samsung. Tracks the 'Asian Tigers' countries + China.
Would you say this is a good time to get into emerging markets or Asian-centric investments, or stay far away? I'm in AIA right now and wondering if I should drop it. XSOE is another on the watchlist. Decided against pure China (CXSE) but all emerging market ETFs tend to have the heaviest weight in Hong Kong anyway with the same small handful of companies.
Any thoughts if I should continue to hold AIA? (That's the iShares Asia ETF, not AIA Insurance Group...google tends to mix them up.) Bought close to the peak and been watching it bleed. My concern isn't really the current drop, but the fact that it's so far above its pre-covid high. If this is the start of a "return to mean" it could be pretty brutal.
Recently got into [AIA](https://www.etf.com/AIA) and been watching it drop. Now there is the news about creating a "China-free tech supply chain." While that is probably somewhat wishful thinking, do you feel it's worth continuing to hold despite being so far above its pre-covid ATH, or just bail out? (Could take a small loss now or wait to see if it bounces enough to get out in the green.) This isn't a question about believing in a company like with an individual stock, it's more about believing in the country/region and knowing that it's susceptible to geopolitical shifts.

Any opinion on AIA vs XSOE? Been eyeing both. AIA has historically performed better, but XSOE adds Alibaba and is much more diverse overall. Though I wonder if it's too much - 500 holdings in a dozen countries rather than 50 in four. Similar top holdings, though AIA is much more top-heavy.

Given the choice between [AIA](https://www.etf.com/AIA) or [XSOE](https://www.etf.com/XSOE) for long-term investment, which might you recommend? I'm trying to decide which one would be better. AIA has historically outperformed between the two, but it has a narrower focus and is more top-heavy. XSOE adds Alibaba and more worldly exposure, but the much larger number of holdings overall has held it back without doing much to reduce volatility. Thanks for your help.
Just get CQQQ or AIA or EEM
How are you managing that lmao. Uranium should be good for a few days this week. ARKF is good because of the coin. BLOK. Anything China based right now. CQQQ AIA EEM EEMA. Fuck everything's green.
AIA CQQQ EEM EEMA Get in there boys
Any thoughts on either of these two for long-term investment? [AIA](https://www.etf.com/AIA) // [XSOE](https://www.etf.com/XSOE) Trying to decide which one would be the better choice.

Ok so I found AIA which is an ETF for rich people Asia - China, Taiwan, HK, Korea etc But I really want one for Central Asia. I wanna be that guy who had faith in them from day 1.
After some research and suggestions from other responses, I've narrowed down international ETFs to a few prime candidates for long-term investing, and would value any opinions on them. AIA is one of Blackrock's iShares offerings, so a reliable Asian-focused ETF. However, despite technically being Asia region, it's actually only four countries - China, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. It is fairly top-heavy in Tencent, TSM, and Samsung, but as those are solid performers, it's done well historically. XSOE is from WisdomTree, with whom I am less familiar. It focuses on non-state-owned holdings and expands beyond the Asian region for a total of nine countries worldwide, though the heaviest percentage is in China, Korea, Taiwan, and India. They have not done quite as well as AIA in the past, but share the same top holdings plus adding Alibaba. Their diversification is likely what has held them back due to having 510 holdings compared to AIA's 55. Lastly, CXSE follows the same methodology as XSOE, but solely focused on China. This means they do not hold TSM or Samsung, but are heavily invested in Tencent and Alibaba. They have performed exceptionally well recently, but have experienced far greater volatility over time than either of the other choices and likely face the greatest risk of government regulation going forward. I'd welcome any input. Thanks for your help.
