Asset management firm Ignis has recommended that those making investments look towards developing markets in order to reap good financial returns.
The company identified ten reasons for adding emerging market investments to portfolios, including the fact that places like China, Russia and the Middle East account for 36 per cent of the world's economy based on their gross domestic product .
They also represent 80 per cent of the world's population and Ignis expects them to produce more and more consumers in the next few decades.
Oil, gas, coal and copper industries are also thriving in countries with emerging markets, according to the firm.
Bryan Collings, manager of the Ignis Hexam Global Emerging Markets Fund, said: "The majority of UK and US investors only have approximately five per cent emerging markets exposure within their portfolios despite sound structural drivers and impressive market performance in these developing markets."
Caxton FX recently recommended the pound as a good way of gaining a return on investments in the current climate due to its performance against the dollar .
