  • The Wild Card: Can Frontier Markets Equities Bounce Back? | Frontier Markets, Equities | Financeasia
    5/6/2020 The wild card: Can frontier markets equities bounce back? | frontier markets, equities | FinanceAsia Frontier markets The wild card: Can frontier markets equities bounce back? Frontier markets have been among the worst hit amid the coronavirus equities sell-off, but one veteran fund manager believes they have rarely offered better value. By Jackie Horne April 28, 2020 The coronavirus spared many frontier markets from the same infection rates suffered by Western countries, but not their stock markets. In Vietnam, for example, the VN Index fell 26.1% in dollar terms during March, outpacing US benchmark indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which dropped by 13.74% over the same period. Frontier markets are getting used to it after taking a pounding in recent years. International investors remain firmly focused on their homes markets in the US and Europe, or rapidly opening ones like China. In the following interview, Thomas Hugger, founder and CEO of fund manager Asia Frontier Capital, argues that there has never been a better time to reconsider some of Asia's smallest stock markets. He also wishes the MSCI would re-evaulate its methodologies for upgrading or downgrading countries between its emerging markets and frontier markets index. Hugger's Hong Kong-based group currently operates four funds with $45 million under management: its benchmark AFC Asia Frontier Fund, AFC Iraq Fund, AFC Uzbekistan Fund and AFC Fund. Q. What impact is the coronavirus having on frontier markets? A number of stock exchanges like Sri Lanka and Jordan closed completely. A. There’s a major difference between the stock exchange closures in the two countries.

  • Article Title
    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 5, No. 19, Spring 2012, 1 Legal Considerations for Investment in Cambodia JOSEPH M. LOVELL Group General Counsel and COO, Leopard Capital Ltd, Cambodia The Kingdom of Cambodia has come onto the radar of international investors as economic development has continued in the Kingdom providing opportunities for investment across a wide range of sectors. While numerous factors support the continuing expansion of international investment in Cambodia, the trend for international investment in Cambodia has been supported by the growth and maturation of the local legal system. However, while it continues to improve, the Cambodian legal system remains opaque and not fully formed and, therefore, reliable legal outcomes are not always guaranteed in local forums. It is, therefore, important for international investors in Cambodia to take note of a number of legal issues when planning a deployment of capital to the Kingdom. Over the last decade, Cambodia has posted strong economic growth rates. Based on a range of public sources, from 2004 to 2007, the economy grew about 10% on an annual basis, driven largely by growth in the garment sector, construction, agriculture, and tourism. GDP contracted slightly in 2009 under the impact of the global economic downturn, but bounced back to over 4% in 2010 despite continuing international economic uncertainties. 2011 GDP growth was approximately 6.5%. The government is forecasting 2012 GDP to be 7-8% year over year. In addition to the attraction of the expanding economy, investment in Cambodia is driven by its advantageous geographical positioning, stable government, trade integration, improving transport and communications infrastructure, and wealth of natural resources, including arable land and mineral deposits.

  • Understanding the Role of Venture Capital and Private Equity on Iran's
    Understanding the role of venture capital and private equity on Iran’s future economic development Workshop at IRAMOT 2016 Teheran, December 8, 2016 © Reddal Inc. This material is Reddal proprietary. Abstract Understanding the role of venture capital and private equity on Iran’s future economic development In this workshop we will review in detail how the venture capital and private equity markets have evolved in Finland, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and Vietnam, and what learnings we can draw from the history of these markets to how Iran can develop in the future. These markets represent today different stages of maturity and sophistication when it comes to how technology companies are able to grow into globally competitive major players in their industry. We will discuss the decisions made by the governments in these countries, and what implications they have had for the development of the business ecosystem and growth. We will also take a concurrent view on the issues each of these countries are facing, and how that reflects to the stage Iran is now, and the decisions that are needed in Iran. The end goal of the workshop is to develop an outline of policy for future Iranian growth, especially in the technology startup and mid-cap sectors, with the aim to create internationally leading Iranian companies. Participants are requested to actively participate in the discussion. No prior knowledge of the venture capital and private equity sector is needed, although familiarity with basic terms and concepts, and current day issues in Iranian economy and government policy will be beneficial. © Reddal Inc.
