Investors urged to "wait and watch"




Wednesday 9th January 2008

Investors who are considering putting their money into countries that are currently going through a period of instability are being urged to wait and see what happens.

Investors Provident has warned that people who are looking to emerging markets should keep hold of their money if there is any civil unrest and wait until the problems die down before investing in the region.

Hetal Shah, director of Investors Provident, explained: "If you take for example what is happening in Kenya at the moment, investor confidence has been dented to a great degree."

However, he added that those investors willing to take a gamble on such a country might enjoy large rewards if the instability subsides and is replaced with a prolonged period of stability.

Mr Shah said: "As property values will dip considerably [in a country experiencing unrest], it can be a good time to buy provided that there is some assurance of stability in the near future."

He admitted that, in the end, the decision on whether to invest in an area suffering from unrest is largely down to "personal choice".
