Emerging markets investments highlighted

Thu, 01 Jul 2010

Investors have been urged to diversify their interests by looking towards emerging markets for investment opportunities .

JPMorgan Asset Management has claimed that ten companies currently account for almost 55 per cent of FTSE All Share dividend income and, although they provide consistent returns, it has been noted that yields could be higher in emerging markets.

The institution is therefore currently sending out prospectus for the new JPMorgan Global Emerging Markets Income Trust, which aims to deliver a four per cent target gross yield at inception.

David Barron, head of Investment Trusts at JP Morgan Asset Management, explained how, with low interest rates in the UK, emerging markets provide the right opportunity.

"By investing in the JPMorgan Global Emerging Markets Income Trust, investors will be able to capitalise on this growing trend in emerging markets," he said.

"This would not have been possible five years ago and we firmly believe now is the time for UK investors to look at emerging markets as both a long term growth story and, increasingly, as a source of equity income."

Brazil has recently been touted as one of the best prospects among the emerging markets, partly because of the large part domestic consumption pays in the economy.
