Session Agenda
Accessing emerging markets (EMs) is more attractive than ever for Australian investors due to sophisticated, low-cost ETFs providing instant diversification; better fundamental economic conditions (lower debt, robust growth, strong tech); a weaker US dollar creating tailwinds; and greater transparency/stability from EM nations which are making prudent reforms. EM offer all of this in addition to faster growth, cheaper valuations, and exposure to differentiated innovation (such as Asian tech) compared to developed markets. Hear from experts how to support client portfolios with this asset class.
