Episode Description
“From debris of the world financial crisis, there has been a gradual but accelerating shift in the role and prominence of emerging markets (EMs) within the global investment universe,” so writes Nate Suppaiah, managing director of the Capricorn Research Group. He returns to Global Reach to talk about why his "Alternative Latin Investor' is expanding its coverage to Africa and Asia. He previews the opportunities and challenges explored in the inaugural issue of "Alternative Emerging Investor" and share highlights from his provocative interview with EM fund pioneer Mark Mobius. Where are smart private equity investors putting their money? Country risk: how do you separate perception from reality? Which alternate asset classes are best suited to specific regions? Countries? What lessons have experienced EM investors learned the hard way? How can your profit them? In just one sector, in the hot real estate markets of Africa, LatAm and Asia, what are the FDI, fund and PE opportunities?
