Exclusive event for Professional Investors
Emerging Markets - Rethinking The Investment Playbook
How should investors assess country risk, portfolio exposure and investment opportunities in a rapidly changing emerging-market landscape?
Geopolitical realignment, technological disruption and demographic shifts are changing the economic outlook across emerging markets. For investors allocating capital across markets and asset classes, understanding these structural changes is essential to making informed investment decisions.
Join Philipp Waeber, Chief Economist and co-author of The Emerging Markets Investor’s Guide to Country Risk, for an in-depth discussion on how investors can reassess conventional approaches to emerging markets and translate macroeconomic developments into investment decisions.
The discussion will explore:
Rethinking country risk: Which traditional assumptions remain relevant, and where might established approaches fall short?
Assessing investment opportunities: How are structural economic changes affecting the outlook across emerging markets?
From macroeconomic analysis to portfolio decisions: What do these developments mean for investors evaluating risk, diversification and investment opportunities?
Bringing together macroeconomic analysis and practical investment perspectives, this session is designed for professionals responsible for investment strategy, asset allocation and portfolio decisions.
Who should attend?
This event is exclusively intended for institutional investors, family offices, foundations and wealth managers .
Attendance is subject to qualification.
