Investment Attractiveness of Polish Emerging Markets Funds in the Context of Global Political and Economic Turbulence

This article examines the investment attractiveness of Polish investment funds with a focus on emerging markets, particularly in the context of escalating global political and economic turbulence. The study analyzes funds operating within the Polish financial market whose investment strategies entail substantial exposure to emerging market economies. The article outlines the macroeconomic and geopolitical factors influencing the behaviour of these markets and provides a review of key investment performance metrics. A comparative analysis of selected funds is conducted over a period characterized by heightened volatility, driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and trade tensions among major global powers. The findings indicate that, despite elevated risk and market instability, certain Polish emerging markets funds exhibit relative resilience and potential for generating positive returns, particularly over a long-term investment horizon. The insights derived from this analysis may inform the investment decisions of both individual and institutional investors navigating an environment of increasing global uncertainty.
