Emerging markets: What you need to know

By Lora Benson | Mar 29, 2018
In Vanguard’s upcoming webinar, we take a look at emerging markets. Emerging markets offer a wealth opportunity for a long-term investor, but what are the shorter-term risks?

On the third Tuesday of every month Vanguard holds a CPD-accredited webinar discussing the issues pressing on investors. Our guests are drawn from inside and outside the business, and include economists, fund managers, product specialists and experts on financial services. Webinars are half an hour and we welcome questions throughout the session.

At 2pm on Tuesday 17 April, we take a look at emerging markets. Emerging markets offer a wealth opportunity for a long-term investor, but what are the shorter-term risks? How important is political risk? Is growth on course? Is government debt likely to be an issue? Do we need to distinguish between regions? What will be the impact of winding down quantitative easing?

Jonathan Lemco, senior investment strategist, emerging markets and Nick Eisinger, co-head of active emerging market fixed income, speak to Leo Schulz, senior investment writer, about what investors need to bear in mind.
