Chart of the week


Five Funds with Rapid Sales Growth 

 

With sales growth slowing markedly around the world, we screened our database for funds with accelerating sales growth in 2012, and then cut out a few that were highly dependent on commodity price forecasts. We found an eclectic mix that with the exception of one enjoy high ALTAR Scores, so could be added to your portfolio for the growth benefits they bring without a valuation penalty.

Fund in Focus

 

dividendsEGShares Low Volatility Emerging Markets Dividend (HILO)  

 

HILO may help diversify existing emerging markets exposure from widely-held funds such as the iShares fund (EEM). Besides their relative price stability, stocks in HILO offer substantially different sector and geographic exposure, while the two funds have nearly identical ALTAR Scores. Lastly, gross yield on 2012E DPS is 6.0% versus 3.4% for stocks in EEM.
