BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust (BRFI) | Historic valuation dislocation presents opportunity
The managers of BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust (BRFI) currently see a historic valuation dislocation between their investment universe and the broad global market, with a P/E discount of c 40% potentially offering a multi-year re-rating opportunity. BRFI is a unique proposition for emerging markets investors, avoiding the largest markets – which between them account for around 90% of global EM investment – in favour of overlooked and often faster-growing countries at an earlier stage of development. Experienced Co-managers Sam Vecht and Emily Fletcher, backed by BlackRock's deep research resources, blend top-down and bottom-up considerations to find investment opportunities in smaller emerging and frontier markets, resulting in a highly differentiated global portfolio that has delivered lower volatility and attractive returns to investors over the short and longer term, as well as an above-average dividend yield (currently 4.2%).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.
