Investors stake €20m on Eastern fund

SINCE October, Irish investors have sunk €20 million into China and India to exploit the range of opportunities offered by two of the fastest growing economies in the world.

Investors looking to diversify their portfolios are sinking €1m per week into a new investment fund set up by Irish Life in early October in order to offer a more diversified investment portfolio.

China and India are two of the biggest potential growth stories in the global economy over the next 20 years. On that basis investors are taking a high risk for what could be significant rewards in the medium to long term.
