British investors are likely to benefit from the strong performance of UK companies in overseas markets, it has been claimed.
Last week, Tesco announced its intention to increase its presence in China, with openings planned in nine shopping malls in the country in 2010-11.
According to Tom Ewing, fund manager of the Fidelity UK Growth fund, this decision can only serve to benefit UK investors .
He believes that investors should be looking at companies with strong business models and capable of exploiting international opportunities rather than those which just focus on the UK market.
"The UK is a fantastically international market with two-thirds of revenues of the FTSE 100 coming from overseas," Mr Ewing commented.
"I look for growth; not just growth in the UK market but all around the world."
As well as in the UK and China, Tesco has bases in the US, Czech Republic, Poland, India and Japan .
