or its investment approach as a result of this change.Julian Thompson is knowledgeable about the Latin American region and the fund itself through his work as head of the team. He also runs a Global Emerging Markets fund that currently invests in many of the same shares as the Latin American Fund.Our view is that this change in manager should not be a cause for concern and that investors should continue to hold. Latin America is a high risk and volatile investment area, although we believe its long term potential is strong. This fund is not part of the Wealth 150, our list of favourite funds in each sector.Stuart Goodwin, Analyst
