    I wouldn't use them for a european allocation. That's usually developed western-european markets (e.g. France, Gemany, Norway, Switzerland, etc).

    These fund have heavy allocations to Russia (50%+), Turkey (17%+) as well as old Eastern Bloc countries. These are more emerging-market type regions albeit restricted to the european geographical area; the typical global emerging market fund won't have that restriction.

    Thanks. So more of emerging market funds abiet in Euro area. I will use these fund in the emerging alloaction when adding funds to my portfolio.

    Is it just me but I am finding that if I want a max of 25-30% in the higher risk sector for funds in below, I am finding theres too many different funds and sectors to get all the fund in with a max 25% allocation in my portfolio of £10k so only
    £2,500 avaialble across so many funds)

    (Asia india, china, Emerging markets, Euro emerging markets and other specialist like gold and Tech)

    You could try ETFs instead if funds are an issue?
