Mexico.- Inflation and the struggle to stop it is one of the main reasons currently castigating funds with investments in Latin America. Also, their long-term yield is tied to regulators’ luck in their effort to cool down prices.
Total yield dropped 1% in the last three months among the large funds investing in Latin American securities operated from the United States, which equals annual 18.6% gain up to March 24th, according to information from Thomson Reuters Lipper.
This is a natural consequence of the fall of regional markets, which since January have given back a large portion of the profits they obtained since early 2009, when the funds that were in the developed markets fled to the south looking for higher returns.
However, if conditions cool down and investors trust in the effects of currency policies, all these funds could soon be back, according to Jose Costa Buck, Portfolio Administrator with T. Rowe Price Latin America Fund, which manages around US$3 billion in assets.
