How difficult is it to invest money into the Asian business market?

I've heard that 56% of the global market is outside of America right now and that most investors should have 10-15% of money invested into the Asian market. I am not savvy at all about all of this but would like to get started if feasible. How much would it take to get started in order to get a decent return on my investment? Thanks.

1. I'm not that saavy either but that's what mutual funds can be used for! Check some out if that's your game, try Morningstar.com for starters. I'm probably 30% in global markets right now and loving every cent of it!
2. Check out the Guinness Atkinson Asia Pacific Dividend Fund (GAADX) Call 800-951-6565 for information.
3. It is best to invest in foreign markets by buying mutual funds or I prefer index funds that specialize in foreign markets. By using this vehicle you get diversification. The least expensive index fund is probably Vanguard, just google it.
4. Investments in Asian Markets is profitable. As we know, all ovver thhe world, now the strategy is to deploy majority part of money in emerging markets such as India, China, Korea, Brazil. In the end it depends on your strategy how risk averse you are, as we all know, higher the risk higher the returns. You can discuss more with me if you want.
