China's unprecedented growth
In 1978, China started on a path of unprecedented economic change, shifting the country's economic centre from agriculture to manufacturing and services. The speed of this change has seen the country leapfrog its western peers in areas such as transport and mobile payments.
Understanding what drives returns matters
The returns we can expect to derive from a stock can essentially be broken down into two factors and it's important for investors to be aware of this. Let's look at Argentina as an example.
The case for investing in India
As a business, we’re often asked about India and why investors should consider allocating either through a stand-alone allocation or exposure through an emerging markets portfolio. On one hand, investing in one of the world’s fastest growing economies sounds sensible but, equally, investors have concerns around volatility and risk, particularly macro risks. So, let’s take a closer look at the case for India.
The case for emerging markets
Emerging markets (EM) have been growing rapidly in recent years. In fact they now represent nearly 60 percent of global growth and more than 50 percent of global GDP. Once dominated by agriculture and cheap manufacturing, EM countries are today home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies and most innovative companies.
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 exit prices and take into account the applicable buy/sell spread and are net of Fidelity’s management costs, transactional and operational costs and assumes reinvestment of distributions. No allowance has been made for tax. Returns of more than one year are annualised. The return of capital is not guaranteed.
