An Introduction to Emerging Markets & Investment


This e-training programme comprises 3 topics/tutorials. Answer all quiz questions at the end of each tutorial in order to complete the training.

A) Emerging Markets – An Introduction
(Estimated Completion Time: 75 Minutes)

Over the past generation or so, emerging markets, most notably the BRIC economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, have grown rapidly – growth that is projected to continue in the years to come as these markets strengthen their global positions and drive the world economy. China is already the world’s largest exporter and in 2010 overtook Japan as the world’s second largest economy after the United States. Although astute investors can earn impressive returns on emerging market investments, this is not an area for the faint-hearted. Significant market volatility, frequent political crises, currency risk, and lack of regulatory oversight, are just some of the risks faced by investors in these markets. This tutorial outlines the development of emerging markets and how they differ from developed economies. The key emerging markets and the risks of investing in these markets are also discussed.

B) Emerging Markets – China
(Estimated Completion Time: 75 Minutes)

Once remote from the international community, a series of reforms since the late 1970s has seen China evolve into an economic powerhouse. In 2010, the country surpassed Japan as the world’s second largest economy after the United States. Such has been its phenomenal growth that China is predicted to overtake the US at some point in the 2020s. However, despite the lofty predictions, China faces some significant economic and other challenges. This tutorial looks in detail at China and its meteoric rise to economic superpower, in addition to some of the challenges the country faces. It also describes the banking and financial sector, which has had to evolve in line with China’s explosive economic growth.

C) Investment – An Introduction
(Estimated Completion Time: 60 Minutes)

Terms like ‘investment’ or ‘investing’ are used in the media every day without anyone actually defining what exactly they might mean. This tutorial adopts a different perspective and will set you out on the road to understanding the fundamentals of investment and its management. Beginning with a discussion of the concept of investment as a whole and the various perspectives on it, the tutorial goes on to deal with a variety of fundamental issues that must be grasped by all investment industry professionals.
