Digital payments, e-commerce, social media and online gaming; in emerging markets, these are some of the fastest-growing sub-trends of the secular growth trend that is digitisation. These trends therefore deserve a place in an emerging market equity portfolio, says Richard Carlyle, Equity Investment Director at Capital Group. This episode zooms in on the strong growth seen in social media and online gaming.
