icyblue1986 asked:

I currently have a well deversified set of mutual fund investments in various “safe” funds. I am looking to move some cash assets into a higher risk, high return mutual funds, as a part of a 5-10 year investment plan. Any recommendations? I have considered china funds, asia funds, russia funds etc, any specifics. Any prospects that look to be up and coming sectors?

   I have had very good returns with a few Fidelity funds..FLATX covers Latin America..( a little energy heavy, but still a fave)…also Fidelity’s Emerging Markets (FEMKX)..well into the + 20% range last three years ( 108% return in 30 months)..
   Also in EUROX..( Eastern Europe/ mostly Russia…again heavy energy, but still very profitable with the lowered oil prices)
   You could diversify by buying about four ETF’s at approx the same amount you would normally put in one mutual fund…
   ETF info;
   Or if you wanted to go with individual stocks, consider a company like United Technologies (UTX) a diverse American company but yet about 60% of their income is from foreign markets.
   Good luck
   P.S. If you want a sort of foreign, but still ” safe” fund look into FNMIX another Fidelity fund…but more into bonds and ” financials” in many countries…it has monthly divs,( automatically re-invested) and has averaged about 14/15% in the last three years.
