hi lioninvestor,

apologies for not being clear.
are there other funds that
1) invest in AP market AND
2) give good dividends regularly
and may or may not be a balanced fund…

many thanks.

Hi Meng,

Do you mean funds that aim to give a similar amount of dividend? Or funds employing a covered call strategy?
Or funds investing in Asia Pacific developed market?

It might be difficult to find a similar fund that has all three components.
