BlackRock Frontiers Investment Trust - Flying the flag for developing economies
BlackRock Frontiers posted another year of strong returns in FY23(ended 30 September) and has continued to outperform into 2024, with NAV
and share price total returns over one, three, five and 10 years to end-January
2024 comfortably beating the average of its peers in the AIC Global Emerging
Markets sector. The trust offers a highly differentiated proposition,
avoiding the eight largest emerging markets, which between them tend to
account for around 90% of GEM investment. Instead, co-managers Sam Vecht,
Emily Fletcher and Sudaif Niaz, backed by BlackRock's deep and broad
research resources, blend top-down and bottom-up considerations to assess
investment opportunities in smaller emerging and frontier markets
worldwide. The result is a unique global portfolio that has delivered attractive
risk-adjusted returns, backed up by compelling valuations and a higher-
than-average dividend yield (currently 4.2%).
