Co-Head of Asian and Emerging Markets Equities

Ian Hargreaves recently took part in an AJBell webinar looking at Asian and Emerging Markets. Watch Ian as he discusses:

  • His approach to investing in Asia ex-Japan
  • His view on the region and how the Invesco Asia Trust plc is positioned as a result of those views
  • Some stock examples where he believes their undervaluation offers opportunities.

  • The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.

    When making an investment in an investment company you are buying shares in a company that is listed on a stock exchange. The price of the shares will be determined by supply and demand. Consequently, the share price of an investment company may be higher or lower than the underlying net asset value of the investments in its portfolio and there can be no certainty that there will be liquidity in the shares.

    Invesco Asia Trust plc

    The product invests in emerging and developing markets, where difficulties in relation to market liquidity, dealing, settlement and custody problems could arise.

    The product uses derivatives for efficient portfolio management which may result in increased volatility in the NAV.

    The use of borrowings may increase the volatility of the NAV and may reduce returns when asset values fall.

    As a result of COVID-19, markets have seen a noticeable increase in volatility as well as, in some cases, lower liquidity levels; this may continue and may increase these risks in the future. In addition, some companies are suspending, lowering or postponing their dividend payments, which may affect the income received by the product during this period and in the future.
