Online stockbroker and fund supermarket Interactive Investor (www.iii.co.uk) has responded to the publication today of the IMA fund statistics for June.

Rebecca O’Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor, said:
“David Cameron is not the only one to take an interest in India as our investors continue to look for more aggressive growth opportunities in established, new and emerging markets. Among the most popular funds so far this year are the First State Indian fund, the Invesco Perpetual Latin America and the Aberdeen Emerging Markets fund. With the BRIC economies continuing to perform well these are likely to remain popular among private investors for the foreseeable future.

“Our trading figures for June reflect the year on year increase in investor activity across the industry. Investor confidence remains strong overall with large inflows into funds both inside and outside of the ISA wrappers.”
