As the dust settles in East Asia, the hunt for new markets goes on
Article Abstract:
There are currently very mixed views about the future of investment in emerging markets. Some observers believe that the collapse of East Asian markets casts a shadow over investment in emerging markets, while others believe that this development will have a positive impact on emerging market investment, encouraging people to distinguish more carefully between the various regions. It is already clear that investors are beginning to make distinctions between the economic policies of different East Asian countries.

Why the markets outperform the professionals' managed funds most years
Article Abstract:
Actively managed pension funds achieved exactly the same performance in 1996 as the FT All-share index, according to WM Co, which monitors fund managers' performance. This was a significant achievement for these pension funds, which have almost always failed in the past to beat the main stock market indices. Fund managers' performance is generally erratic, with those which appear in the top 25% of performers in any five or 10-year period probably being in the bottom half in the following five or 10-year period.

Article Abstract:
It is now widely accepted that analysing the flow of investments is a good way of assessing the development of new market trends. There has been a strong rise in overseas investment over recent years, with UK fund managers among the pioneers of this trend. One in five of all share transactions across the world now involve a foreign investor or a foreign security, and emerging markets now account for 14% of total overseas equity portfolios.
