Not great growth over 5 years though...

That's down to the sector rather than the fund though. Comparing it to a different sector, USA/North America - well, it beat all but one fund over 5 yrs on that list.

It's pretty established that sector selection is more important than security selection. I sold off my USA exposure some years ago. I'll keep an eye on when to get back in but nothing's really convincing me just yet...

Though some analysts think that 2008 might be Japan's year, so best of luck with that!

Heh - they've kept saying that every year for the last few! I hope so - cheers!
