A new investment report which concentrates solely on the Asia-Pacific region and which claims to be the first such investment guide dedicated to Asia, has been launched in the United States.

Edited by Carl Delfeld, a former U.S. Representative to the Asian Development Bank in Manila and investment executive in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney, the report, entitled 'Asia Investor Intelligence', aims to fill the gap between high investor interest in Asia and the lack of intelligence on both the risks and the real opportunities.

"Investors don’t have any dedicated source of investor information on Asia, and current news coverage skims the surface and focuses on yesterday," explained Mr. Delfeld.

"Investor and media preoccupation with China is causing investors to overlook a stock market already up 100% during the past two years which is in the early stages of a great bull market," he added.

Asia Investor Intelligence will provide investors, financial advisors and busy executives with a single dedicated source of what is happening behind the scenes in Asia and highlights specific investment ideas to capitalize on current business and political trends.

According to Mr Delfeld, each issue of "Asia Investor Intelligence" will contain over ten pages of easy-to-read, interesting facts and opinions as to where people should invest in Asia along with which countries to avoid. Recommended Asian investments will include country specific exchange-traded funds (ETFs), closed-end funds, specific companies, mutual funds, FDIC-backed foreign currency CDs, and alternative investments like hedge funds. There is also an Asian Opportunity model portfolio to help investors package their Asian investments.
