BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust (BRFI) | Big opportunities in the world's smallest markets
BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust (BRFI) offers a unique proposition for emerging markets investors, avoiding the largest markets – which between them account for the vast majority of global EM investment – in favour of less researched and often faster-growing countries at an earlier stage of development. Co-managers Sam Vecht and Emily Fletcher, backed by BlackRock's deep and broad research resources, blend top-down and bottom-up considerations to find investment opportunities in smaller emerging and frontier markets worldwide, resulting in a highly differentiated global portfolio that has delivered attractive returns to investors over both the short and longer term, backed up by compelling valuations and a higher-than-average dividend yield (currently 4.4%). While the word ‘frontier' may conjure a hint of wildness and danger, these markets (as represented in BRFI's benchmark) have consistently – if perhaps surprisingly – exhibited lower volatility of 10-year returns than US, UK and broader EM indices.BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust is an investment trust and its principal activity is portfolio investment. Co. invests in the securities of companies domiciled or listed in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in, Frontier Markets. Investment may also be made in the securities of companies domiciled or listed in, or exercising the predominant part of their economic activity in, more developed markets but with significant business operations in Frontier Markets.
