Fund-seekers spoilt for choice

Article Abstract:

There is a wide range of funds available for UK investors seeking to invest in emerging markets. Specialized funds are geared to investors with knowledge of a particular region. Templeton Emerging Market Investment Trust is geared to selecting stock rather than a particular market, while Kleinwort Emerging Markets Investment Trust is geared to markets rather than stocks. Both funds have performed well, and there are advantages and drawbacks related to these two contrasting styles of investment.

Gone bottom fishing

Article Abstract:

Investment trusts specialising in emerging markets have dropped in price, and bargains may be available. They have become the cheapest sector of all the investment trust sectors, and discounts have widened. Private investors should seek trusts with strong track records and trusted managers which have wide discounts at levels not previously seen. Such trusts should recover rapidly in an upturn. The volatility of markets means that investing in this sector involves risks.
