Latest module: Emerging Markets

Emerging Markets have been one of the investment success stories of recent years, generating annual growth way beyond the developed markets.

Currently accounting for nearly half of global trade and over three quarter of global growth in 2008, this module explains the key themes behind their growth, continued success and future potential.

Presented by Kim Catechis, SWIP Head of Emerging Markets, the module covers:

• Why Emerging Markets are key
• Drivers of growth - past, present and future
• Relative position in global trade
• Dramatic growth of the middle class consumer
• Billion dollar infrastructure development
• The BRICs - emerging or developed?
• Rise of the Frontier markets
• Investment options

Make sure you are up to date with the fundamentals that could drive these economies forward in the years to come.

The module breaks down much of the jargon associated with this strategy in a clear and comprehensive manner. The video based presentation is accompanied by interactive slides and takes around 25 minutes to complete. View now at www.intelligencecentre.com/trustee
