Abhijeet Singh, institutional portfolio manager, is today’s guest to look at key drivers in emerging markets right now. For Canadian investors, Abhi works alongside portfolio manager Sam Polyak on Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund. Today, Abhi looks at emerging markets feeling the affects of spiking energy prices and soaring inflation threatening their economic growth. Also though, what tailwinds and perhaps opportunities across emerging markets regions could be possible in this environment. Specifically, Abhi shares that energy importing countries will be focusing on keeping their currencies under control, and countries that export energy materials may benefit. Abhi also shares his thoughts on specific regions such as Brazil, India, and China, looks at the short and long term for emerging markets investing, and comments on the global research resources available to him at Fidelity. This includes governance research analysts and geopolitical experts.
