In recent months, Jupiter Emerging and Frontier Income (JEFI)’s discount has widened. This seems at odds with JEFI’s good relative performance over this period and since launch (a 14.7% return on NAV for the period to 19 September 2019 versus 11.4% for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, 10.4% for the MSCI Frontier Markets Index and 8.2% for the average of JEFI’s peer group – see page 9). It also seems strange given JEFI’s sector-leading dividend yield.
