Emerging Markets: Long-Term Trends & Investment Opportunities

Emerging markets (EM) continue to present unique opportunities and challenges for investors. As the global landscape shifts, certain megatrends are reshaping the dynamics of these markets. In this session, Anthony Doyle, Cross Asset Investment Specialist at Fidelity International, will share his insights on the long-term trends driving growth in emerging markets, the challenges presented by the current economic environment, and where Fidelity sees attractive opportunities at compelling valuations.

What You’ll Learn in This Session

  1. Megatrends Shaping Emerging Markets
    • Population Growth: The growing population in emerging markets, particularly in Africa and Asia, presents a massive opportunity for businesses, particularly in sectors like consumer goods, technology, and infrastructure. Anthony will discuss how these demographic shifts are driving demand for goods and services and shaping the future of these economies.
    • Ageing Demographics: While population growth is a key trend, many emerging markets are also grappling with an ageing demographic. Anthony will delve into how this trend is affecting labor markets, healthcare demand, and investment strategies in countries like China and India, and what it means for long-term growth potential.
  2. The Current EM Landscape
    • China’s Regulatory Environment: One of the most important factors influencing the emerging markets today is China’s evolving regulatory environment. From crackdowns on tech companies to efforts to control financial markets, Anthony will explain how these regulatory shifts are impacting stock selection within Fidelity’s Global Emerging Markets Fund. He will explore the broader implications of China’s policies on global supply chains and investment opportunities within and outside the country.
    • Impact of Geopolitical Risk: In addition to regulatory changes, geopolitical risk is a growing concern in many emerging markets. Anthony will discuss how investors can navigate these risks and identify areas of opportunity in a politically complex environment.
  3. Finding Opportunities at Attractive Valuations
    • Emerging markets can be highly volatile, but they also offer some of the most attractive valuations in the investment world. Anthony will highlight where Fidelity is finding new opportunities in emerging markets, particularly in sectors poised for growth. He will share examples of markets and industries where they are seeing high potential at relatively low valuations, making them appealing for long-term investors.
