From Brazilian farmlands to Colombian gold fields, from Chinese shopping
malls to Indian hotels, from South African wine country to the boom/bust
souks of Dubai, Christopher Mayer’s around-the-world investing field
trip explores the nooks and crannies for hidden investment opportunities.
Mayer’s new book, World Right Side Up: Investing Across Six Continents
(Wiley, Hardcover & ebook, April 2012; $39.95; 978-1-1181-7140-0) packs
big ideas to power your portfolio in the years ahead. Along the way,
you’ll learn many fascinating tidbits about the world’s diverse markets.
For the first time since before the Industrial Revolution, the emerging
markets now contribute as much to the global economy as their more
well-developed peers. Far from being an anomaly, this state of affairs
is more in line with the bulk of human experience. For centuries, China
and India were the world's largest economies. And so the world is
turning...right side up.
This change creates a wealth of opportunities for investors, in both the
emerging and developed markets. World Right Side Up will tell you how to
profit from this tectonic shift.
Christopher Mayer takes you to meet fund managers, officials and movers
and shakers around the globe: from the Middle East to Africa to Asia and
Australia and home again.
You’ll explore gold riches in Colombia, agriculture in Brazil and living
like a king in Nicaragua
Next, jet off to China and India, where Chris sizes up this massive shift
After a stop in boom-bust Dubai, you’ll discover South Africa’s
surprising wealth.
The investment adventure continues in Southeast Asia, before going to
the farthest-flung resource opportunities in Mongolia and Russia
Some of the best companies can be found closer to home: in Canada and
the USA
Uncover specific investment ideas and themes: opportunities in
agriculture, water, energy, infrastructure and much, much more
Each chapter includes key take-aways from each region, offering
resources to consult for more guidance.
While others fear the changes happening now, the forward-thinking
investor will learn that these sizable new markets will create
extraordinary new opportunities.
