Emergers are everywhere
Article Abstract:
Emerging markets have become popular among UK fund managers. Returns can be high, but these also tend to be high-risk investments so diversification is used to spread risks. Risk levels also mean that these should be long-term investment. Not all emerging markets are accessible. Investors should use a number of criteria such as an increase in population, urbanization, educational levels, democracy, low inflation rates, low levels of government debt, high savings rates, and high private sector involvement in the economy.

The message from the yield curve: An early economic recovery seems unlikely-but investors may not need to worry about this
Article Abstract:
The recent base rate cut will not lead to a quick economic recovery, and the gilt yield curve indicates that the economy will continue to slow over the next few months. Previous recessions were preceded by a sharp inversion of the yield curve. A survey shows that 40% of manufacturers will make fewer investment in plant and machinery in 1999. However the yield curve is not always a great predictor of economic activity, as in 1987 it was nearly as inverted as it is currently, and the economy subsequently boomed.
