As the original emerging markets investment trust, it has been at the forefront of emerging markets for over 30 years. Here are five reasons shareholders choose TEMIT.
Emerging markets currently contribute 65%* of global GDP growth and we believe this growth advantage will continue over the long term. They enjoy many structural advantages - growing populations, expanding economies, and companies that are at the forefront of digital disruption and technological developments that lead the world.
TEMIT is the original emerging markets investment trust founded in 1989 and has an enviable performance track record. If you had invested £20,000 at launch – the current ISA allowance – you would now have over £850,000. Past performance is not a guide to the future. Figures are total return basis which includes reinvestment of any dividends. Up to date performance information can be found in the below link.
TEMIT is managed by Franklin Templeton’s specialist Emerging Market Equity team. With over 70 analysts spread across 14 countries and this gives us access to identify investment opportunities beyond the mainstream, often before they are recognised by the broader market. Our analysts speak the language and are part of the local culture/fabric of the countries in which they conduct research.
TEMIT’s portfolio is currently diversified across approximately 80 high quality companies that represent the very best investment ideas. We believe that this offers a balance of investing meaningfully in each company and making sure we don’t have all our eggs in one basket. Unlike some peers, TEMIT is able to invest in large, medium and small companies. It can also invest a limited amount in the fast growth potential of private companies which enhances the range of growth opportunities available.
With over £1.9 billion of assets, TEMIT is the largest emerging markets investment trust in its sector. And with over 1 billion shares in issue it’s easy to buy and sell shares – with either a lump sum or a regular savings plan. This corporate strength helps provide added confidence to all TEMIT shareholders.
