Anyone that ’ s visited one of the Asian megacities is likely to have felt in very tangible terms the growth potential that the continent offers .

In emerging economies like Vietnam or India , that can mean rapid urbanisation , lots of investment in infrastructure , and the nascent adoption of goods and services , whether that be people opening bank accounts for the first time or buying cheap consumer goods .

For more developed markets , like Taiwan , Korea or even China , the story is less about an expanding domestic economy and more about selling globally . Many companies listed in the region are leaders in their field and

sell to customers around the world .

Much like finding your way around one of those megacities , navigating these opportunities can be difficult . Companies are often under researched for one . They are also difficult for individual investors to access . For example , India is arguably one of the key growth areas in the region but is close to impossible for individual investors in the UK to access alone .

For investors who are interested in accessing the growth opportunities that Asia offers , Schroder AsiaPacific ( SDP ) may prove an attraction option . A core holding for Asia

investors , the trust is co-managed by Richard Sennitt and Abbas Barkhordar , who have decades of experience between them and take a benchmark-conscious approach to markets .
