Here at Titan we wonder whether, given that PE’s are at the bottom end of their 20 year range, and that fund managers are en bloc the most underweight here for many a year, whether our recent nibbling of selected emerging markets will prove as prescient as this here – http://www.spreadbetmagazine.com/blog/titan-investment-partners-why-we-have-moved-to-a-maximum-net.html
