  • (1888PressRelease) December 16, 2016 - Timothy Collier - Freeman & Mayer's Director of Investor Relations said "We are currently carrying out first interviews and expect to announce the successful candidate in early January after a round of second interviews".

    Timothy went on to say "There are compelling opportunities in Asia's emerging markets for investors, especially India. However, the region hasn't been out of the firing line of the current challenges that face the global market economy, it is though, in our view, the best emerging market the world has to offer and will continue to attract considerable interest in 2017."

    The Asian region is expected to throw up opportunities for investors amid ongoing global political and market volatility. Despite considerable political uncertainties in the near term in the US, the UK and Europe, as well as potential changes to US trade policy under the coming Trump administration, modest improvement in global economic momentum is expected to continue in the year ahead.

    Strong fundamentals in Asia
    The introduction of trade protectionism risks derailing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which could in turn negatively impact global growth. Investors may also see a gradual rise in inflation, flatter yield curves and a higher federal funds rate in 2017. This may lead to a more cautious stance by the Asian central banks due to market volatility. Nevertheless, with long-term interest rates in advanced economies expected to remain low in the year ahead, growth and strong fundamentals in the Asian market will present opportunities to those investors willing to diversify across asset classes and geographies.

    Against this global backdrop, opportunities can be identified in riskier, higher yielding asset classes, including Asian equities, which can offer better returns for investors seeking to manage market volatility.
