Book description
The practical guide to investing in emerging markets
Though potentially risky, investing in emerging markets can offer
extremely attractive returns. Opportunities in Emerging
Markets offers practical advice for investors based on the real
life experiences-both positive and negative-of practitioners, pioneer
investors, and local heroes with experience in frontier markets.
Exploring how every developing market has its own unique regional
cultures and social structures that change the way investors invest,
and must be understood in order to make wise investments, the book
combines standard approaches to investing with the exigencies of
frontier markets to create an invaluable framework for success.
A collection of useful ideas that investors-institutions, general
partners, limited partners, or shareholders-can draw upon when
investing money in emerging markets, the book includes essential
information on one of the most attractive opportunities for beating
traditional markets and investments. If access, downside, and
predictability can be managed, there's a great deal of money to be
made in emerging markets, and this book shows how. Both investors and
investment managers need to understand fundamental success factors,
real framework conditions, and hidden pitfall and in Opportunities
in Emerging Markets, author Gordian Gaeta analyses these
intricacies in depth.
- Gives investors of all kinds the information they need to succeed
in emerging markets
- Incorporates real life experiences-both good and bad-to help
readers avoid common mistakes and maximize their returns
- Includes interviews with Mark Mobius, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, and
other leading names in the emerging markets sector
For those traders brave enough to engage in high-risk/high-return
investing, Opportunities in Emerging Markets is an excellent
overview of the world's toughest frontier markets and how to conquer
them. Featuring interviews with some of the top investors in the
field, this is the definitive guide to the perils and pitfalls of
investing in these highly volatile markets.
