Barron's: Play Asia via Singapore

Description:

Despite its big gains in 2006 and its outperformance so far in 2007, Barron's believes that Singapore is a great way of gaining investment exposure in Asia. In the Feb 12 issue of the weekly reasons are given as to why investors should remain bullish the stocks of the city-state and which stocks to buy. To quote the article:

"The Singapore market has even begun to outpace the bourses in Korea, Taiwan and other "Asian tigers" it once closely tracked. This divergence is only partly explained by the strength of Singapore's banking and real-estate sectors, which helped sustain the city-state through the global technology sector's recent weakness.

The extent of its outperformance -- comparable ETFs for Taiwan (EWT) and South Korea (EWY) rose just 16% and 10%, respectively, last year -- suggests something else is at work: Singapore's successful transformation into a teeming financial hub, with a rising profile as the gateway to Asia's booming economies."
