Should you be investing in utilities across emerging markets?

Utilico Emerging Markets [LON:UEM] Trust Deputy Portfolio Manager Jon Groocock explains how the fund has consistently beaten the market by making investments in utilities across the emerging markets.

The Utility sector covers all the household services you would expect; water, sewage, gas, electricity connection and all the players in the value chain from transmission to generation.

Jon explains the intrinsic characteristics that make the utilities so attractive to investors and how the Energy Transition Megatrend across the emerging markets will deliver significant share price drivers for these companies.
