Since our most recent note, the managers of Aberdeen Emerging Markets Investment Company (AEMC) have significantly increased the fund’s exposure to China. With 38.9% of the fund now allocated to China and 72.5% to wider Asia-Pacific, extensive exposure is provided to the region that has been the quickest to return to near-normal economic activity. Asian exposure is supplemented by pockets of strength elsewhere, such as in Romanian equities and frontier market bonds. AEMC continues to trade at what seems an excessively wide discount to its peer group, particularly when also factoring in its dividend yield and low ongoing charges.
