For currencies you need a FX broker. I recently migrated to Thinkorswim (from Optionsxpress). They have HKD, JPY, THB, SGD. IB has more currencies: http://individuals.interactivebroke...?exch=idealfx&showcategories=FX&ib_entity=llc I don't know about asian mutual funds. Why not just buy an asian index ETF? 80% of mutual funds underperfrom their indexes, after all. Some nice asian ETFs: Japan: EWJ, EWV Taiwan: EWT China: FXI, FXP, PGJ, GXC Chindia: FNI Asia: ADRA Malaysia: EWM Hong Kong: EWH South Korea: EWY Singapore: EWS
