New York - Aggressive investors should
consider investing in developing
countries because of the potential for significant long-term returns.
A number of emerging
capital markets we like are Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Poland, China and Russia.
Developing country funds generally focus on a
particular area or country and are an ideal way of investing in a specific area or country
without exposure to one particular company. Investing in developing country funds is one
of the most aggressive types of equity investments you can make. Consider the following
approach when investing in developing country funds.
Balance your
Portfolio - Developing country funds should be part of a balanced portfolio.
Evaluate your overall portfolio in terms of its relative level of risk, your investment
objectives and exposure by industry and country. Do not forget to look at your current
stocks. American companies, especially, gas and oil companies, may have significant
inherent exposure to emerging markets and by investing in a developing market fund, you
may take on unexpected additional risk.
Invest on Bad
News - You initial investment should be planned to be held at least five years.
If you are investing for the first time, you may want to consider investing small amounts
over a set period of time after a drop has already occurred. This method may diminish the
possibility of immediate principal loss because of sudden bad news or a dramatic shift in
the market's view of a particular country outlook. After bad news is announced, wait until
the market settles and consider additional investing.
Understand the risk - Emerging
country funds generally invest in areas where there is rapid growth, privatization and
economic reform and expansion of developing capital markets. Given that, there are special
risks of investing in developing markets. These include higher volatility, currency
fluctuation, and political uncertainty.
Given the large degree of
risk, investors should only own these funds if they can hold their principal investment
for long periods of time.
