Emerging market investment - is it time to take a look?
When the worldwide economy is performing well there is often great interest in the emerging markets of the world where base prices may be a little cheaper and offer better value for money. However, once a downturn hits home this attraction can soon disappear as investors grab their money and run. Is it time to look at emerging markets again or can they wait a while longer?
It is difficult to recommend any investment market in the current environment never mind the possible attractions of emerging markets. But the likes of New Star and Henderson Global Investors have a history in this market which literally goes back decades. They have fund managers who have been there and done, seen everything there is from the sky high inflation of Brazil to the near collapse of economies in the Far East.

Find out how to spot an emerging market, get your timing right on the way in and more importantly on the way out.
