Step by Step Emerging Markets Investing: A Beginner's Guide to the Best Investments in Emerging Markets (Step by Step Investing)

Description

Find out why emerging market stocks need to be part of everyone's strategy for safety and returns Your world is changing. In 1992, developed countries like the United States accounted for two-thirds the global economy. By 2015, the percentage of the world economy from these countries had shrunk to less than half while Asia and Latin America had almost doubled their share of the global marketplace. Public debt of $16.3 trillion in the United States is now larger than the economy and an aging population means economic growth will continue to slow. The days of parking your money in American stocks and enjoying a stable long-term return are over. Slowing economic growth in the developed world and huge demographic advantages in developing countries are shifting the landscape for corporate profits and stock market returns. Being ahead of these changes means opening your investments to the regions and players that will benefit most over the next several decades. The average investor holds just 3% of their portfolio in emerging market stocks. That will leave them dangerously behind the game as the world changes. Those investing in multi-national U.S. companies as part of their emerging markets investment are in for a surprise. While U.S. companies book nearly 40% of their sales overseas, less than half of it is from emerging markets. The fact is that only direct investment in emerging market stocks will provide the growth you need to meet your financial goals and reduce the risk of a stagnant economic picture in the United States. But emerging market investing is far from a smooth ride to higher returns. In fact, the chronic cycle of boom and bust in emerging market stocks means a rebalancing strategy is absolutely essential to keeping your gains.

Review: Start here for emerging markets investing - A very good investing book for beginners and even experienced investors in emerging market investing. From my experience, the biggest reason people lose money in emerging market stocks is because they don’t understand the risks and how emerging markets go through distinct periods of boom and bust, even more than other stocks. Step by Step Emerging Markets Investing covers both of these areas nicely. In the chapter on emerging markets risks, the book covers those specific to investing like political risk, economics and currency risk but without making you get through all the economic jargon. The section on periods of boom and bust in emerging market stocks is an eye-opener even for someone that has been investing for a while. It helps put the investing topic in perspective and fits with the proposed strategy Review: Not the best book in the series - This is a decent book on emerging markets, but unfortunately it's already out of date. Russia recommended, but it's 2025 and that doesn't seem like a smart move any more. It's kind of a prescriptive walk though of selected markets rather than a discussion of fundamentals to examine.
