The fund you linked to may not be available to an American investor quite so easily.

It depends on whether or not the individuals broker or trading platform is able to make such trades from a regulatory standpoint and/or whether they are even willing to involve themselves in the purchase of offshore based mutual funds or equivalents.

While the purchase of shares of stock of some foreign firms can be facilitated through an American exchange via an ADS, investing in small or mid cap foreign companies carries unique risks not suitable for every portfolio.
