For many investors Latin America is an attractive and diverse region. Favourable demographics, an increase in domestic demand and strong balance sheet performance from its leading companies all point towards strong growth over the next few years. However this is a region dominated by Brazil and critics often cite the regions reliance on commodities. Whatever the arguments Latin American investing looks like an investment opportunity that cannot be ignored. Our panel will discuss the merits of investing in Latin America, where the best value can be found and which clients would benefit from exposure to this exciting region.

The Latin America panel includes:

Fiona Manning - Investment Manager, Aberdeen Asset Management

José Luis Garcia - Investment officer and equity portfolio manager, MFS Investment Management

Alec Young - Global Equity Strategy for the US, Europe, and Asia, Standard & Poor's
