A Look At The Best Emerging Market Funds Ideas

By Cathy Mercer


The term emerging markets has a broad meaning as it covers all markets from big ones such as China and Brazil to the newest investment frontiers found in Africa. Investors are attracted by younger economies as well as greater growth, something that these markets have been consistently delivering over the past decade or so. Many investors feel that these markets funds are a vital part of their portfolio. One merit associated with them is the strong growth economies they provide are the most ideal long term bets that can be found in any place. Below are best emerging market funds ideas.

Fidelity New Markets Income, abbreviated as FNMIX, looks for high capital appreciation and current income. The fund typically invests more than 80% of assets in issuers securities within upcoming markets. It also invests in other investments that are economically tied to upcoming markets, while investing potentially in other securities types such as equity security for upcoming market issuers. This fund allocates investments across nations depending on the market size of each country in relation to markets size in nations that are as a whole considered upcoming markets.

Wells Fargo Advanced Emerging Markets Eq A, popularly known as EMGAX, is the other one of the best funds. It has an investment objective for providing shareholders with capital growth for the long term. This fund can invest more than 80 percent of its assets in issuers equity securities that are situated in upcoming markets. Upcoming markets nations include South Korea, China, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Malaysia, India and Taiwan, but are not restricted to just them.

EMGAX may invest in six or more countries, although it can also invest all its assets within a single country. The fund can invest in securities in all market capitalizations, and usually seek investments offering potential growth opportunities. All in all, the opportunities must be attributable to factors such as liberalized trade policy, political change and economic deregulation.

SITEX is a firm whose main aim is maximizing all its returns. The investments it makes are usually at least 80% of the assets at its disposal, as a fixed income security for an issuer of an emerging market. This company deals mostly with corporate or government-related issuer securities that are US dollar denominated in nations considered upcoming markets. Included also are entities organized in a manner that all pending issuer debts are restructured.

Another notable fund is a non-diversified and closed-end management company. Its major objective is capital investment, while the income it seeks to get by mainly investing in Indonesian equity and debt security is its secondary objective. The fund invests substantially in all the assets it has, 80% or more of its total assets in Indonesian equity and debt securities.

The remaining assets the fund has can be invested in non-Indonesian equity and debt securities of either corporate or government entities. The firm can also make investments in short term instruments for cash management purposes. It can invest up to 20% of its total assets in equity Indonesian securities that are not listed.

The above are some of the best emerging market funds ideas. It is worth bearing in mind that risk varies for each of them, and an overall markets fund is country, region or sector specific.
