Emerging markets make up over 70% of global growth and around 60% of global GDP. However, they make up less than 13% of the MSCI All Countries World Index. This just goes to show that emerging markets are under-invested.

In this Fund in Focus, OxCap’s founder and CIO Dr Joseph Lai explains how the Ox Capital Dynamic Emerging Markets Fund is finding ESG-friendly, mispriced opportunities in Asia and beyond. He also shares one market that’s in a prime position to benefit from rising commodity prices, and a company that’s set to profit from huge growth in mobile internet.
