Emerging markets offer good investments, expert claims

Tue, 01 Jul 2008

The emerging markets of Russia, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates all offer good investment opportunities, one expert has claimed.

According to Jeff Chowdhry, head of emerging equities at F&C Investments, the nations do face some issues relating to the credit crunch, but they are not as exposed as some other countries.

He explained that the sell off of shares seen at the end of last year means that investments in these areas are "attractive" in terms of price.

He said: "We believe emerging equities should be considered an important allocation within a diversified portfolio whether you are a long-term private investor or a pension scheme ."

Growth rates in emerging markets should be higher than those in western economies, something that should prove attractive to investors, he added.

Yesterday, a survey by Barclays Stockbrokers found that 63 per cent of people who put money into an investment fund do so because it offers them access to a diversified portfolio.
