Video: 'China and emerging markets still a good bet' We saw this in March on the back of the bank bail out in Cyprus and it was exacerbated when Bernanke [Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke] talked about stopping quantitative easing. All the time we live with this uncertainty, emerging market equities will be volatile. In this video, Jan Dehn, head of research at Ashmore Investment Management, an emerging markets investment group, states the case in favour of emerging economies. He points out that China, for example, despite growth slowing to 7.5pc this year, is still growing 15 times faster than developed economies and has less debt. Mr Dehn said: "One of the areas that the market loves to hate right now is China; personally I have a very different view." He believes China is experiencing "some short-term pain" as it rotates its economy away from depending on exports to more domestic sources of growth. "What I see in China is a forward-looking government that is taking a position and preparing itself for the inevitable, and I like that as an investor," he said. For investors interested in emerging markets, Mr Dehn recommended looking for surplus economies where savings are not going to be devalued over time, and using active fund management to help investors avoid the risks. "My recommendation obviously would be to allocate more resources towards emerging markets because in the long run that's where you get the biggest growth - but you don't want to go in there blindly," he said. Ms Schooling Latter said that at the moment, many emerging market equities are "very cheap." "It doesn't mean they won't get cheaper, but the long term drivers in the form of the growing middle classes and consumerism, are still in place, so we think now is a good buying opportunity for long term investors who are willing to take more risk," she said. Monthly savings may be a more palatable route for many as the markets can be very volatile.
