DirectorsTalk presents investment analysis for a selection of investment trusts in the UK, Asia, Japan, Emerging Markets and Europe in a roundup of recent articles and interviews.

Fidelity compares India and China stock valuations; analyses the strong investment case for emerging markets and in another article, whether the so-called European Granolas offer better value than the ‘Magnificent 7’ in the US. 

JPMorgan examines the positive market outlook in a reflationary Japan and how European equities are trading at an ‘extreme discount’ to US equities. JPM notes that the European equity market can now offer comparable levels of quality and growth potential to the US.
