Growth in Asia is still high and these countries will eventually get higher standards of living. In Simplicity Asien, all major economies in the region are assembled. The fund was launched in November 2006.

Opportunities in Asia
The Asian countries have a high growth. About half of the world's population lives in the region, approximately 3.2 billion people. In 1990 there were 19 Asian companies among the 500 largest companies in the world, in 2008 the number is 126. The GDP for the countries in Asia amounts to 13.000 billion USD. This is nearly as much as the GDP of USA. China, Japan, India and South Korea, are among the largest economies in the world and together with several countries in the region, they have a strong growth. South Korea has, for the last fifteen years, had the fastest growth among the countries of the world, and has a GDP per capita approaching European levels.
