Get more for less: A contrarian approach to emerging markets
Emerging market economies are in better shape than many of their developed peers – yet their equities are much cheaper. A differentiated process could help you unlock this value.
Three catalysts for change in emerging markets
After a challenging decade, fund manager Raheel Altaf believes the asset class is on the cusp of a recovery with a number of growth drivers emerging, including stimulus measures and falling interest rates, which should offer powerful support to demand going forward. As an active investor, Raheel is finding high-quality companies at depressed valuations, offering an attractive entry point for investors.

Investment risks:
- Market volatility risk: The value of the fund and any income from it can fall or rise because of movements in stockmarkets, currencies and interest rates, each of which can move irrationally and be affected unpredictably by diverse factors, including political and economic events.
- Currency risk: The fund’s assets may be priced in currencies other than the fund base currency. Changes in currency exchange rates can therefore affect the fund's value.
- Emerging markets risk: Compared to more established economies, investments in emerging markets may be subject to greater volatility due to differences in generally accepted accounting principles, less governed standards or from economic or political instability. Under certain market conditions assets may be difficult to sell.
- China risk: The fund can invest in China A-shares (shares traded on Chinese stock exchanges in Renminbi). There is a risk that the fund may suffer difficulties or delays in enforcing its rights in these shares, including title and assurance of ownership.
- ESG risk: The fund may select, sell or exclude investments based on ESG criteria; this may lead to the fund underperforming the broader market or other funds that do not apply ESG criteria. If sold based on ESG criteria rather than solely on financial considerations, the price obtained might be lower than that which could have been obtained had the sale not been required.
- Charges from capital risk: Where charges are taken wholly or partly out of a fund's capital, distributable income may be increased at the expense of capital, which may constrain or erode capital growth.
