If economic conditions in the UK and US find you wanting to cast your investment net out a bit further in search of greater returns, take a look at this new offering: the Fidelity Emerging Europe, Middle East & Africa fund.
Fund manager Nick Price is aiming to tap into the immense potential of the economies in these regions. Undoubtedly, the attractions of countries such as Russia, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates are their vast quantities of some of the world’s most valuable resources and raw materials.
With 80% of the world’s oil reserves and 97% of the world’s platinum reserves, the region will command massive demand from China and India that will support both the economies, and companies within them, with steady cash flows and foreign investment.
Many see this region as ‘untapped’; having the potential to benefit from global economic trends where other, more established economies, may struggle. It is also a region few investors have exposure to in their investment portfolios.
If you are willing to take the extra risk involved with investing in emerging markets, you could be rewarded with higher returns. But if you want to take a more risk-averse approach, why not look at some of the funds on our Top Funds Shortlist?
To invest in this fund or for more information call a member of our Investments Team on 0800 294 7221 or get in touch online. The fund launches on 14th January 2008, and will be available on our Fund Supermarket.
