Doing the Continental

Article Abstract:

Australian investors enjoyed very good returns from investing in managed funds of European stocks in 1997 and more upside is still there.

He does advise caution for investors looking for the best returns. The currency of Australia lost value, however, in the 12 months before 9/98; that caused offshore rates of return that will not recur.
