BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust in 60 seconds

Edison’s investment companies team recently published a review of BlackRock Latin American Investment Trust (BRLA). Its managers Sam Vecht and Christoph Brinkmann remain positive on the prospects for the region, which has distanced itself from rising global geopolitical conflicts. Latin American central banks have been proactive in raising interest rates to combat higher inflation, so as the cycle turns, looser monetary policy should be supportive for economic activity and asset prices. Growth estimates for Latin America are higher than those for developed economies and this can feed into superior earnings growth, particularly in quality companies with favourable corporate governance track records. BRLA offers an attractive dividend yield based on 1.25% of calendar quarter-end NAV, which can be paid out of income or capital.
