Personal Finance Show: Emerging market dips and inflation-busting assets

The team talk about the surprise surge in inflation this week and whether emerging markets might be back on form
September 21, 2018

In this week's Show, the team are joined by Alex Neilson, investment manager at Investec Click & Invest, to discuss recent investment and market news including inflation and emerging market volatility.

There's a discussion about the spike in inflation to 2.7 per cent and what this might mean for interest rates and inflation-linked bonds, and also why the latest round of anger between the US and China did not impact markets, and what might be needed for positive sentiment to stay the course.

Emma Agyemang, personal finance writer, gives us an update on management changes at the IC Top 100 Schroder High Yield Opportunities Fund (GB00B5143284). She also profiles a Chinese equity fund at a time when markets could be providing an attractive entry point.
