Smarter Way to Play an Emerging Market Rebound

Emerging market funds – targeting shares in fast-growing Asian and South American countries – have delivered losses averaging 12pc over the past three years.  Much of the damage occurred in recent months as anxiety about the strength of economic growth rocked the markets. An upward move in US interest rates – which did not materialise last week, but will eventually arrive – is expected to knock these regions further.  Heavy commodity price falls, which have also depressed emerging market currencies, show no sign of reversing.
