Alternative ways to invest in Genesis Emerging Markets Fund

Buying shares in just one company can leave you more exposed to unexpected swings in the market than if you have a range of investments - a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend having a broad mix of assets and funds that hold a ready-made portfolio of at least 50 different companies' shares, on the basis that drops in the value of some will be offset by rises elsewhere.
Genesis Emerging Markets Fund is a major part of the LSE index, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Genesis Emerging Markets Fund under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Genesis Emerging Markets Fund P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

P/E ratio

Genesis Emerging Markets Fund's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Genesis Emerging Markets Fund shares trade at around 7x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Dividend yield: 1.8% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.4% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 9.04% of net profits

Genesis Emerging Markets Fund has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.80% of its share value annually.
