HEAD-TO-HEAD: First State vs JP Morgan
FSA compares the First State Global Resources Fund and the JP Morgan Global Natural Resources Fund.
Fatima Khizou, manager research analyst at Morningstar
Analysts are cautiously optimistic on natural resources in 2017. With the prospects for the global economy generally improving, and renewed (if misguided, some would say) focus on fossil fuels in the US, the demand for energy, oil and basic materials is likely to remain robust.
In the meantime, investors looking to diversify into alternative assets eye natural resource funds among other assets.
Together with Morningstar’s Fatima Khizou, FSA selected two global natural resources funds for comparison, the First State Global Resources Fund and the JP Morgan Global Natural Resources Fund.
