Which Way for Emerging Markets in 2018?
Staci Warden, David Bohigian, Scott Mackin, Arvind Rajan, Nicolas Rohatyn, Sev Vettivetpillai
This analysis highlights a structural shift in global economics where emerging markets now drive the majority of GDP growth, fueled by a youthful demographic dividend and synchronized recovery contrasting with stagnation in developed nations. Investors are increasingly pivoting from macro commodity proxies to micro-level opportunities in healthcare, education, and renewable energy, though they must navigate significant liquidity risks in corporate bond markets and capital traps in private equity. Success in this environment requires long-term horizons, rigorous bottom-up due diligence to distinguish good capital absorption, and strategies that blend public and private funding to mitigate political and technological disruption.

Investing in Emerging Markets: Out of the Rabbit Hole?
Jonathan Wheatley, Hedi Ben Mlouka, Scott Mackin, Arvind Rajan, Nicolas Rohatyn
A panel of investment experts analyzes the structural shift in emerging markets where domestic politics and capital flows now outweigh global macro factors, urging a move away from generic strategies toward country-specific analysis of debt evolution and political risk. Despite short-term market mismatches and liquidity constraints, the discussion highlights compelling valuations and high-growth potential in sectors like infrastructure, citing specific opportunities in Egypt, Vietnam, and Russia while warning of volatility in Turkey and China. By prioritizing long-term capital commitments and rigorous due diligence over quarterly reviews, investors can mitigate these risks to capture the 75% of global GDP growth projected to originate from these regions over the next decade.
