Investors looking to put their money into emerging markets will have a bright future as the recession lifts, according to one firm.
The Association of Investment Companies recently hosted a roundtable event to discuss the potential of emerging markets as a vehicle for asset growth in the coming years.
Claire Simmonds, client portfolio manager of JPMorgan Emerging Markets, said at the meeting that developing industries have outperformed average investments this year and will continue to do so.
Mark Mobius, manager of Templeton Emerging Markets Investment Trust, concurred: "The outlook is very positive. Whilst global growth has slowed, emerging markets are still expected to grow at a much faster rate than developed markets."
Ethical investments are also faring well in the recession, with recent research from Moneyfacts suggesting that they are providing a better return than funds based on the FTSE 100 and index trackers .
