Review: Long-established, diversified regional specialist
The BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust (BRLA) invests in Latin American equities, aiming to provide attractive total returns over time from a diversified portfolio of stocks, with a bias towards Brazil and Mexico (together c 85%). After a rough ride for the Brazilian market the trust is positioned cautiously versus the index, preferring the better near-term economic prospects of Mexico and Peru. However, with a number of large, liquid companies in the region, the manager is able to rebalance the portfolio swiftly should Brazil begin to turn a corner. Option-writing income enhances the yield, currently 5.3%, and the shares have recently traded at their widest discount in five years, suggesting the potential to re-rate.BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust is an investment trust company.
