What Are Emerging Markets?
Emerging markets typically share these characteristics:
- High Growth Potential: Rapid industrialization and expanding middle classes drive economic growth.
- Infrastructure Development: Governments and companies invest heavily in infrastructure, technology, and innovation.
- Political and Economic Reform: Many EMs are liberalizing markets, privatizing state-owned enterprises, and improving governance to attract foreign investment.

- Sector Investments: Focus on high-growth industries such as technology, energy, or consumer goods in EMs.
- Currency Opportunities: EM currencies often rise alongside economic growth, offering potential forex gains.
- Risk Management: Hedge against risks like political instability, currency volatility, and regulatory changes.
Our Criteria
While China has a huge economy and huge industry we have decided to exclude it from our search due to its negative view of businesses that become very successful such as Alibaba. Also some of China’s most successful businesses are subject to international sanctions. We have added in other countries like Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey and South Korea.
