So Peter Schiff is one of our favourite bears on this board, and in large part because of what I have read on these boards my outlook is now similarly gloomy. Whilst I am as certain of the inflationary outcome as Schiff and some others here I am hedged in gold and silver and looking to diversify some more STR funds out of Sterling and also out of the AUD$ where I live now.
I am thinking of using Euro Pacific - I have spoken with them, fees are not cheap @ 3.5% in and out (7% in total off the bat - but these include all currency conversions). What Euro Pacific would offer is access to and recommendations in a range of Asian & perhaps Canadian markets - I simply don't have the time to look into individual stocks etc in these countries but like the idea of the diversification.
Has anyone invested through them and if so what was your experience?
cheers,
matt

I'm thinking of this too; any news, views or reviews?

Buy some ETFs then. They cover the regions. Most are listed in the US but can be bought in the UK via a broker such as E*Trade, TD Waterhouse, or IB. iShares has a great ETF od income trusts listed in Canada (XTR.TO) which has been hit by proposed tax reforms but still has a very high yield and is in the right sectors. There are a couple of Asian ETFs listed in the UK (e.g. IAPD).

why not invest in Asia Pacific ex Japan fund ?

EuroPAc is a company in the US.
