An independent asset manager specialised in emerging and frontier markets. Since day one, we have set out to be a long-term, active and responsible investor.

It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend an inspiring panel on emerging and frontier markets after the US elections, where we will be talking about the big trends that directly impact your portfolios such as the implications of the new US presidency on financial markets, the COVID situation across our investment universe, the economic recovery and key structural trends affecting emerging equity markets. 

The panel, moderated from Stockholm by Beatrice Bushati, Senior Analyst, East Capital, will bring together four experts and thought leaders with different perspectives: Anders Borg, former Finance minister of Sweden (Stockholm); Cecilia Sved, Strategist, AMF Pension Insurance (Stockholm); Charles Robertson, Global Chief Economist, Renaissance Capital (London); Jacob Grapengiesser, Deputy CIO, East Capital (Moscow).

Outlook for sustainable emerging markets investments in uncertain times

Russia, suddenly, seems reassuringly boring. The ruble is no longer whipsawed by oil. Corporate governance is improving, and reserves are approaching the magic 7% of GDP beyond which lies economic stimulus. There’s even a thaw in relations with Ukraine. With valuations among the cheapest in emerging markets, now is the time to take a closer look at Russia.
Understand how to approach Russia’s unloved stock market in our live webcast with East Capital’s Jacob Grapengiesser, in interview with the emerging markets author and journalist Gavin Serkin.

Sanctions' silver lining: The resilience of Russia's world-beating stock market

Mention frontier markets to the average investor, and listen for a sharp intake of breath and woe betide warnings of extreme risk. Here’s the point they’re missing: annual volatility has been consistently lower across the frontier than in emerging or developed markets, and with lower correlation to global shocks.
