Investing in emerging markets: the BRIC economies and beyond

This book will examine emerging markets as both an investment option and opportunity. It will first look at what the worlds emerging markets are and how they work as an asset class, explaining what this means in principle and how such economies differ from more developed markets particularly in the wake of thecredit crunch and ensuing Western financial crises. It will then examine emerging market investing in general, detailing both the attractions and the pitfalls for potential investors, and taking into account such areas as the demographic, political, economic and social considerations as well as an examination of the validity of current arguments such as the shift in the balance of powerfrom West to East, the so-called de-coupling of the developed and emerging worlds and the implications of the commodities boom. The book will also considerin more detail the pros and cons of the different types of emerging market, starting with the four major BRIC economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China but also looking at the other emerging economies of Europe, Latin America, Asia and what is being seen as the final frontier of the Middle East and Africa. With the credit crunch hurting the worlds developed economies far more than their emerging market counterparts, many would-be investment areas have been left floundering in a financial and economic trough that could take years to sortout. As such, this book will seek to identify not only where the money-makingopportunities are in emerging markets but also, perhaps even more crucially, whether the emerging markets will in fact prove the only real money-making opportunity for investors over the next decade. From Money Morning, Dec 2008: Emerging markets investors have always had famed investor Jim Rogers on their side. Now after the bubbles of China, India, Latin America and more have popped they can take comfort in the word of investor Mark Mobius, who said emerging markets are bottoming en route to a bull phase in 2009.
