Episode Description
Today we discuss “Investing in Frontier Markets: Opportunity, Risk and Role in an Investment Portfolio”, co-authored by longtime money manager and media commentator Gavin Graham (our guest) and financial journalist and broadcaster Al Emid, their book provides an all-inclusive analysis of frontier markets. The authors define the term, explain its history, view the countries generally termed ‘frontier markets’, and examine the professional advisor’s role in counseling individual and institutional investors. The co-authors define frontier markets as the approximately 60 countries not included in developed and emerging market indices. Their work suggests that frontier markets offer the same potential for growth as provided earlier by emerging markets. Frontier markets also have the potential to reduce portfolio volatility since these markets do not correlate or move in the same way at the same time as other investment categories such as the developed markets of North America and Europe.
