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.
