For investors seeking momentum, iShares Asia 50 (AIA - Free Report) is probably on radar now. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up over 33% from its 52-week low price of $38.37/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea on where it might be headed:
AIA in Focus

The fund is heavy on China (40.8%) and South Korea (25.5%). The fund charges 50 bps in fees (see all Asia-Pacific (Developed) ETFs here).
Why the Move?
