I want to buy a good Asia pacific Fund for growth and income.Can someone help me?

Here are some exchange traded funds for you to consider. Many are more specific than Asia Pacific. For example Japan, Australia, etc. I assume you are looking for one that invests in the entire region. An index fund to consider is ADRA. It tracks 50 widely traded ADRs that represent large Asian companies.
It track record is 20% annual return since inception. But it has not been around very long, only since 11/2002. The expense ratio is 0.30%. One thing I do not particularly like about this fund is that much of it assets are concentrated in two Japanese companies, Toyota with 13% and Mitsubishi Financial with 11%. Also 69% of its assets are invested in Japan and 16% in Australia. It is not very diversified.

Another is EEP. It invests in Pacific coutries other than Japan. Annual return since inception is 22.4%. It has been in existance since 2001. However, it is not well diversified either. 65% of its assets are invested in Australia and 7.5% in BHP, the large Australian company.

There are many index funds that invest in Japanese companies. ITF with an annual return since inception of 9.8% and EWJ with an annual return since inception of -0.20%. EWJ has been around a long time since 1996 and suffered through much of the Japan bear market.

There are also other country specific index funds. EWM invests in Malasia. EWS in Singapore. EWH in Hong Kong.

Among closed end funds, there is APB with a return since inception of 9.44%. 38% of its assets are invested in Hong Kong.
APF with a return since inception of 3.19%. 48% of its assets are invested in Japan. The Japanese bear market effected this fund also. There are also many country specific closed end funds. MF invests in Malasia. JEQ in Japan. JOF also in Japan. IF in Indonesia. TDF, GCH, and CHN in China. There are many others also.

Look at the various ETFs that cover East Asia and India. Yahoo has a list of them in their market section under ETFs.

I hope you can visit www.nriinvestindia.com
this financial website enables investors and day traders to do day trading and invest in indian stock markets online.

There is a closed-end investment fund traded on the NYSE by the ticker of TDF. It is managed by Templeton and has a good performance record. Sometimes it trades at a discount to NAV. Then purchase is attractive. At present it is at a slight premium I think, so you have to decide for yourself.

the three etfs i strongly recommend are EEM, ADRA and EFA all I either currently own or have owned in the past all have been solid don't invest in a single country because of uncertanies from N Korea diversify is your best bet,
