SHIFTING FROM ASSETS TO IDEAS All these companies – whether in healthcare, financial services or gaming – illustrate the fundamental shift in emerging markets from assets to ideas. They are capital-light, they don’t depend on large amounts of fixed assets, and they are built on intangible value creation - whether that’s software, ecommerce or pure-play consumer branding like trust holding Bud Asia. They are the antithesis of the basic industries historically associated with emerging markets such as commodity extraction and fixed line telecoms. Emerging market growth opportunities are becoming more like those in the developed world: it is not the market that is attractive to investors but companies with the right type of business model, with the potential to gain market share. Important information ‘IT’S A REALLY INTERESTING TIME TO BE A STOCK-PICKER WORKING IN THE EMERGING WORLD’ These companies tend to have higher returns on capital and are very cash generative. Forey is excited about the prospect: ‘The team are seeing as many opportunities as they have at any point in the last 10 years. It’s a really interesting time to be a stock-picker working in the emerging world.’ More information on JP Morgan Emerging Market Investment Trust here > To buy this trust login to your EQi account Select JP Morgan Emerging Markets (JMG) - GB00BMXWN182 This is a marketing communication and as such the views contained herein do not form part of an offer, nor are they to be taken as advice or a recommendation, to buy or sell any investment or interest thereto.
