What makes emerging financial markets different from those in the US, Western Europe, or Japan? What are the benefits of adding these markets to traditional investment portfolios? Why invest in certain countries versus others? Within a country, which asset class should we invest in - debt or equity? How do hedge funds approach these markets vs. traditional investors? From the practical perspective of a U.S. institutional investor, this course tries to help answer these questions. Through videos, readings, and problem sets, students should develop greater abilities to analyze global macro trends and country fundamentals, master portfolio construction concepts, and implement practical investment strategies.
