Despite only being conceived as an investment universe in the 1980s, emerging markets have come to represent a significant part of a diversified global investment portfolio.
Emerging markets have been responsible for 67 per cent of global GDP growth in the past decade, are home to some of the world’s most innovative companies and benefit from long-term demographic changes.
But investing in an emerging market is not without risk, after all, by their very nature, ’emerging’ countries are typically less stable (both economically and politically), have lower standards of governance and have less accessible capital markets.
Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited (LON:FEML) is an investment trust that aims to achieve long-term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio made up primarily of securities and financial instruments providing exposure to emerging markets companies, both listed and unlisted.
