The growth story in emerging market is still a valid one despite higher recent volatility, says Jupiter's new emerging market fund manager Jason Pidcock, who talks to investment reporter Valentina Romeo about his views on the region. Pidcock, who has been investing in emerging markets for over 20 years, says worries about China and its economic slowdown will remain but in some areas the country will grow faster, such as in tourism. Former Newton fund manager is to launch his Asian Income fund next week, topping key countries such as Australia and the Philippines. He says it is much more profitable to launch a fund in emerging markets after the market has been weak rather than to do so at the top of the market. On Brexit, the fund manager also says he has no concerns on the UK growth rate whatever the outcome of the referendum might be and so he says Asian companies should not be worried about trading with the UK whatever the scenarios.
