Emerging Markets Are Evolving
Rapid economic growth in Emerging Markets since the 1980s has transformed what was once a niche
asset class into a critically important one representing the economic forces poised to shape global growth
in the 21st century.

Over 80% of the global population lives outside the developed world. Per capita GDP growth of the
emerging world is far higher than the developed world. The impact of billions of consumers generating
strong growth could radically reshape the global economy in coming decades.

Urban Consumers Will Drive Growth
 Rising incomes in growing cities are already creating abundant new opportunities for emerging market
 investors. Favorable demographics and burgeoning urban consumer classes are spurring demand which
 is creating lucrative markets for many consumer facing companies.

Redefining Opportunity: States of Emergence
In 1980 five countries were available to investors as Emerging Markets. Today there are more than sixty.
While many investors still see Emerging Markets as a single asset class, these countries now vary greatly in
their development, political risk and the types of companies that drive their economies. In short, they each
have a unique “state of emergence.”

As Emerging Markets evolve, so does the complexity of finding the best investment ideas. That’s why
we analyze each opportunity uniquely within the context of its relevant market. Government policy,
economic infrastructure and personal income levels of a given market can all shape the fortunes of specific
companies. How that investment compares to others in the region or across the globe is equally important.
Local, on the ground insight is critical for identifying opportunities and challenges in these increasingly
diverse economies. A global perspective provides a broader view of a company’s prospects for the future.

Two Emerging Countries, Two Different Outlooks
NIGERIA AND THAILAND SHARE STRONG GROWTH, BUT LITTLE ELSE

NIGERIA4: Huge Potential, Significant Challenges

         With 174 million people and large oil reserves, Nigeria
         generated exceptional average annual GDP gains of 8.9%
between 2001–20105 despite frequent political instability. But an
overdependence on the oil sector, which provides about 80% of
budgetary revenues kept the rest of the economy from flourishing.
Nigeria’s government has recently begun long overdue economic reforms
to spur more diversified growth. Low per capita GDP of US$2,800
(2012 est.) highlights both the challenges and potential for Africa’s
second largest economy.

THAILAND4: Resilient and Resurgent

         Diversified agricultural and industrial exports have driven
         Thailand’s steady growth, but the economy has also
demonstrated incredible resilience. The global economic crisis slashed
exports and the economy shrank 2.3% in 2009 but quickly rebounded
and expanded 7.8% in 2010. Then in late 2011 the manufacturing
sector was devastated by massive floods. Industry recovered from the
second quarter of 2012 onward with GDP growth of 5.5% in 2012.
Per capita GDP of US$10,700 (2012 est.) continues to rise, paving the
way for increased consumer led growth.

Emerging Sectors Can Seem Similar, but Vary Widely
Our research on sectors reveals new opportunities and provide important insights for security selection
in specific markets. For example, a sector may be expanding rapidly in one region while its relative profile
is much less in another. So the fact that the types of investment opportunities within the same sector can
vary widely between regions and even countries must be factored into portfolio construction.

Local Expertise Unveils Hidden Opportunities in
the Securities Market
Many excellent companies are not included in regional indices, so having investment teams conducting

they operate can also be critically important for knowing when to sell an investment.

• Our team of professionals represents 26 nationalities and speaks 27 different languages and

• We believe active, informed portfolio management is the best way for investors to capture

                           ­contrarian approach is traveling to places others aren’t, and thinking about the long-term
                           potential in specific industries and companies that may not be on others’ radar screens.”
