Product Overview

Investing in emerging markets (EMs) has been a cornerstone of globalization since the term was coined in the early 1980s. Capital flows to these fast-growing economies—through foreign direct investment, equities, bonds, and outsourcing—have become a vital part of global investing. However, the recent US-China trade war, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine have reshaped the global business landscape. Do the new global risks alter the fundamental case for investing in EMs? This public-sourced case provides an overview of the definitions, history, and key features of EMs in the context of economic growth and institutions. It examines the opportunities and challenges of EM investing by weighing rewards and returns against risks and uncertainties. The case highlights the rapidly evolving global business environment through the interactions between EMs and advanced markets. At the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, it is taught in the second-year “Growth and Business in EMs” course; it is also suitable for modules on EMs, global investing, and global business environments.
