Henderson’s emerging market fund ‘recommended’
Hendeson Global Investors' global emerging markets equity fund has received a ‘recommended' rating from research house, Zenith Investment Partners, based on its strong investment processes.
Henderson's Edinburgh-based emerging market equity team, led by Glen Finegan, said emerging markets were all about demographics. Six of the seven billion people in the world lived in emerging markets.
Zenith held a positive view of the investment processes used by Henderson and in particular of lead portfolio manager, Glen Finegan.
"Zenith believes that an investment in emerging market equities provides an ideal complement to an investor's broader international equities exposure," the report said.
The fund was best used as a "satellite" holding in a diversified global equities portfolio, for those investors who sought greater exposure to emerging markets, Zenith said.
Henderson Australia's head of distribution, Matt Gaden, said: "As a result of this thematic [strong population growth], we have seen strong demand from Australian investors... the fund offers investors exposure to a broad range of opportunities, and the benefits of significant portfolio diversification".
