Emerging and Frontier Markets Series
African Capital Markets Conference
October 18, 2013
Description
By now, any serious global investor knows about the tremendous economic potential of the African continent and the significant strides many of its countries have made over the past decade. The only questions for those without direct experience are the mechanics of investing and the balancing of unique risk and reward factors. As the so-called “Last Frontier”, what distinguishes Africa from other developing markets? Which investment vehicles are appropriate for early-stage growth countries? What are the risk factors involved and how can one approach the task of quantifying them?
An expert panel of seasoned investment professionals will give the audience a true insider’s view from those who have been ahead of the curve in the burgeoning African investment field. Those interested in any genre of investment, be it fixed income, equity both private and public, or highly-structured vehicles such as project finance, will have an opportunity to hear from someone who has succeeded in delivering returns from these investments in the world’s second-largest continent.
This is a great opportunity for any globally-minded investment professional seeking a better understanding of one of the world’s most dynamic regions.
Conference objectives:
- Give you a more in-depth look at the specific investment vehicles in Africa and the methods of analyzing and investing in them
- Promote a more useful and detailed discourse than the standard Africa narrative
- Address the global challenge of applying increasingly data-driven financial analysis techniques to markets with often unreliable statistical coverage
- Provide members and other conference attendees with an opportunity to network with top professionals in the Africa-focused investment sphere
