Invest in Emerging Markets through Large Blue Chip Stocks


If you want to invest in the fast growing economies in countries such as Brazil, China, India, and Vietnam you can do this by investing in US companies. You can invest in the stocks of large blue chip companies that have significant exposures to these emerging market companies.

Companies such as Siemens (SI), Unilever (UN), and Proctor & Gamble (PG) now derive 30 percent of their sales from countries such as Brazil, China, and India.

Other companies that you can invest in include:

Schlumberger (SLB), the oil-services giant that trades at 22 times its next year earnings (this is below its five-year average of 25), and

Standard Chartered (SCBFF) which generates 90 percent of its sales in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East but nonetheless still trades at 13 times its next years earnings.
