A fascinating exploration of which countries offer promising
investment opportunities for Americans now and in the years to
come
Most emerging markets investment guides focus on financial
metrics, but fail to provide the reader with new and relevant
insights into the history of the countries, the views of the people
on the street, and the financial shenanigans that go on behind the
scenes, that make for truly informed investing. As a result,
despite the growing interest in investing in these markets,
investors are often missing key opportunities because they either
have incorrect information about a country where they might invest,
or simply don’t know what questions they should be asking. Where
In the World Should I Invest: An Insider’s Guide to Making Money
Around the Globe is here to help.
Drawing on author Karim Rahemtulla’s personal experiences
traveling the globe and exploring the capitals where business is
transacted, the book outlines the perils, pitfalls, and rewards of
investing in ‘low float’ markets.
* The essential resource for taking the right steps in exploring
investment opportunities in foreign and emerging markets
* Expert advice from an author with 20 years experience covering
emerging markets
* Commentary on the expectations of foreign investors, the fears
of investing abroad, how to set up legal offshore accounts, and
much more
Packed with unique insights into twenty countries and regions
around the globe based on the author’s extensive interviews and
travels, Where In the World Should I Invest is a must-read
for anyone thinking of expanding their investment portfolio
overseas.
