Welcome to iGlobal Forum’s Emerging Markets Summit 2011: BRIC and Beyond! The Summit will explore lucrative new opportunities for institutional investors in emerging markets— the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China as well as new markets such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, Africa, and Chile among others.
In search of yield and attracted by rapid economic growth in emerging economies, many institutional investors are increasing their allocations to these markets. Large institutions are expanding their direct presence while smaller ones are using exchange-traded funds as a low-cost means of increasing their exposure. Investors are diversifying within the emerging markets space, moving beyond basic equities to invest in fixed income securities, private equity and infrastructure investments.
Even so, most U.S. institutions are still woefully underweight in emerging markets as a percentage of their portfolios. This Summit will help to unravel the mysteries of investing in these markets. We’ll identify the most promising investment opportunities from a risk vs. reward perspective. We’ll scan the global marketplace for opportunities in BRIC emerging and frontier markets: which regions and sectors have the greatest potential? What are the inherent risks—geopolitical, economic, cultural, structural, regulatory, liquidity, transparency, currency—of investing in these nascent markets, and how can these risks be hedged or otherwise mitigated? What investment vehicles are available and appear most attractive?
iGlobal Forum’s Emerging Markets Summit 2011: BRIC and Beyond will bring together some of the best minds in the emerging market arena—leading institutional investors, asset and portfolio managers, private equity and hedge fund managers, government and political advisors and academics—to weigh in on these issues. Attendees will benefit from a full day of networking, panel discussions, and insightful presentations at iGlobal Forum’s Emerging Markets Summit: BRIC & Beyond. We look forward to greeting you in New York in January!
