Alex B | How do you 'invest' in a country?? |
Reports often state that certain countries are 'very promising' or 'are expected to grow hugely over the next ten years', (i.e. there seems to be a lot of hype about China's potential).
Well we're not talking about a firm here so my question is how do you invest in a country? Is there a way to index your investment against a countries GDP growth? Or do you expect certain industries to grow in line with the economy and invest accordingly?? i.e. By investing in that countries beverage's sector... |

Well, since you stated you aren't talking about a firm. I a guessing you are talking about private people.
Well, one way is to invest into shares into companies that are located there... (Which is what firms often do)
Or you can attract a distributor there, that will distribute your product for you there (If you have a new sports drink or something like it) However, distributors usually buy your product and REsell it there.
Another option is getting an AGENT in the area. This agent will act upon your behave. IE, it's a distributor that will find clients and sell for you. He doesn't "own" your product, so he doesn't make a profit, you do. However, he will be entitled to a commission.
Yet another way for private people that I know. Is DIRECT investment. Which comes down to: Go there and start a business.
There are numerous ways in which you can INVEST in an upcoming market. However, most options are limited to the funds/resources you have. And usually if you do not have a lot of resources, the advantage of the upcoming market is not interesting.
Like you said, to invest in a beverage sector... If you are a private person or a very small company. You probably have just as much growth potential in your own area as you would have there. (And the disadvantage of not knowing your environment (IE China ain't the States) usually keeps the little fish from swimming in those waters)
Hope that answers your question a little...
(Often government(s)(websites) have information about investing in their country. It usually a good place to look for information) |

There are ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds) that are like mutual funds in that they are designed to track various market indices and can be traded like stocks. There's one that tracks just about anything you could want, mexico, canada, china, germany etc. Check the American Stock Exchange website. |

Probably the easiest way to invest in a country is through ETF's, or Exchange Traded Funds. You can find a list of these in any financial newspaper or with your broker.

You could go to that country an open a McDonald's.

You could buy a foreign public company.
You could buy foreign currency.
You could open a bank account (In the foreign country)

You can invest in mutual funds that will invest in foriegn companies of a particular country.
You can invest in foriegn curriencies for countries that you think have thriving economies.
Or you you can invest directly on their particular stcok exchange in an index fund.
Talk to an investment advisor or stock broker. |

At a broad level, what is most often implied is and ETF for that country - such as FXI, EWZ, etc.
In newly developing countries this helps disperse your risk.
To focus in on a specific industry that is "hot" within a given country, simply look up the ETF and see what its component holdings are. Studying these will also lead to identification of their peer groups within their own countries.
Tim, on Fast Money, does an expert job of pointing out key opportunities in emerging markets, and resources for checking them out. Likewise, Investors Business Daily outlines data on emerging market ETFs that you will find helpful. Pick up the weekend edition on a Saturday to see if you actually use / like it, before popping $200 for an annual subscription. |

I'm guessing you are talking about buying stocks with foreign companies. I've never bought stocks in my life and I don't understand how they work. Do I think you should invest if a company is doing well?.....I guess so. |
