The case for emerging markets
Emerging markets (EM) have been growing rapidly in recent years. In fact, they now contribute over 50% of global growth and are expected to contribute over 60% by 2022. Once dominated by agriculture and heap manufacturing, EM countries are today home to some of the world’s fastest-growing economies and most innovative companies.
Is China's commodities speculation counterintuitive?
I’m a few days late in tipping my hat to Bob Dylan’s 80th. But he has a line to suit most occasions and this week it’s Ballad of a Thin Man’s ‘something is happening here but you don’t know what it is’. That’s what came to mind when I read about China’s recent clampdown on alleged speculation, fake news and hoarding in the commodities markets.
China's EV industry set for even faster growth
While most of the decarbonisation focus has been on the US or Europe, China should not be forgotten. The country has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2060, with "eco-friendly" cars estimated to jump from 6% to all auto sales by 2035. Which companies will be the winners?
The arbitrage opportunity in Japanese sustainability ratings
Japanese companies generally have lower sustainability scores than their European counterparts. But the reasons why aren't what you think.
This Fund is subject to the risk of stock market fluctuations. Investors accessing the Fund through a master trust or wrap account will also bear any fees charged by the operator of such master trust or wrap account. Any apparent discrepancies in the numbers are due to rounding.
1Management costs are current as at the date of publication of this website. These fees may be subject to change in the future.
2Total returns (net) have been calculated using the net asset value of the Fund from one period to the next. The returns include any re-invested distributions and are after fees and expenses. No allowance has been made for taxation. For periods of less than one-year returns are not annualised. The return of capital is not guaranteed.
