Regions

Baltic countries and Emerging Europe

By many measures, the most advanced group of Emerging markets, offering a combination of EM level growth and asset prices with Western European level of development and governance standards.

Due to moderate size of the region Baltic countries and Emerging Europe do not enjoy the same level of attention and big-name investor coverage as other Emerging markets, providing an opportunity to such active region specialists like us.

Global Emerging markets

World‘s economic growth engine and most dynamic markets offering particularly favorable demographics and attractive valuations with notably lower government debt levels compared to Developed markets.
