Fund managers’ opinions on the UAE and Qatar’s emerging markets upgrade | The National:



"Fund managers in Singapore, New York, London and Abu Dhabi answer questions related to the entry of the UAE and Qatar into the MSCI Emerging Markets Index on Sunday. The countries were upgraded from the MSCI Frontier Markets Index because of increased economic stability and improved access to international investors in their nascent stock markets.





Mark Mobius, Singapore-based executive chairman of Templeton Emerging Markets Group



How attractive are UAE and Qatar shares, given the strong rallies over the past year? 



There is still value to be had in both the UAE and Qatar over the long term. Of course, many of the stocks have gone into overpriced territory but there are some that are reasonably priced, given their strong growth prospects."
