    This study empirically examines the correlation among the returns of six select Asian stock market indices of India, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. The study is conducted over a longer time period of 2000 – 2012. The correlation results provide useful information for foreign institutional investors, portfolio managers, regulators, and policy makers in designing appropriate strategies to maximize risk adjusted returns.
