Podcasts about Frontier markets

My guest today is Michelle Arevalo-Carpenter, Co-Founder of IMPAQTO and General Partner at IMPAQTO Capital. Michelle is a human rights lawyer by training, a fund builder by calling, and one of the most compelling system-reimaginers I've ever had on the show.Michelle's journey has taken her from a small apartment in Quito to the halls of Oxford and the UN — and back again. What she learned along the way is that real change doesn't come from reports or elite institutions. It comes from being close to the problem — and the people.Back in Quito, Michelle started where many great entrepreneurial stories begin — with no office, no plan, just an instinct that something better could exist. Over a hundred coffees with local founders, she kept hearing the same themes: isolation, lack of support, funding that didn't fit.In response, she created IMPAQTO, Ecuador's first coworking space for social ventures, not because she had a real estate vision, but because people needed a place to belong. “They weren't paying for square meters,” she said. “They were paying to not be alone.”From there, IMPAQTO grew — into an accelerator, a research platform, a voice in policy. But the biggest problem persisted: no capital. Or rather, the wrong kind of capital.Local businesses needed $10K–$500K. They didn't want to sell equity. They wanted to grow on their own terms. Too big for microfinance, too small for venture. “That's the missing middle,” Michelle said. “That's where we live.”So in 2021, she launched IMPAQTO Capital, a revenue-based investment fund designed not to chase unicorns but to nourish sustainable growth. Michelle described it not as alternative capital, but as capital that's appropriate for the context they're operating in.Rather than chasing foreign LPs, her team went local. They raised over half their first close from Ecuadorian and Andean-region families — people with lived experience inside the very systems the fund aims to change. “Our investors aren't impact tourists,” she said. “They're system insiders.”What Michelle is building isn't just a capital vehicle. It's an ecosystem intervention — a cultural shift that treats belonging as a precondition for growth, and care as critical infrastructure. She's also a co-founder of CLIIQ, a regional research and advocacy platform focused on unlocking catalytic capital for women-led businesses.At IMPAQTO Capital, every deal is evaluated not just on returns, but on whether it preserves the dignity and agency of the founder. Every exit includes a “cap party” — a ritual of closure and celebration that says: You did it. You paid us back. We're done. And we're proud.There's a lot to learn from Michelle. About capital. About leading with trust and care. About staying rooted in a place and still seeing the whole system.But mostly, about how change happens — not from the top down, but from the inside out. Slowly. With proximity. And with people who never forgot where they started.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:IMPAQTO Capital websiteIMPAQTO Ecosystem BuilderMichelle Arevalo-Carpenter websiteMichelle Arevalo-Carpenter LinkedIn

From New York to rural India, Ajaita Shah's journey is anything but typical. In this episode, we dive into the founding of Frontier Markets and her bold goal: to empower 100 million women through She-Leads Bharat by 2030.We ask:– What sparked her commitment to rural women's leadership?– How did she challenge social norms and win trust in male-dominated systems?– What setbacks taught her the most about resilience and scaling impact?– How are rural women quietly driving climate action and digital finance?– And what must change in funding and policy to truly unlock women's economic power?Ajaita doesn't just talk systems change—she lives it. Tune in for a masterclass in purpose-driven leadership.

Chase Taylor of Pine Cone Macro is back to break down the mess that is U.S. trade policy and what it means for markets. We talk about whether Trump's tariffs are pushing us toward recession, why China's fiscal discipline might actually be a strength, and where smart investors should be looking outside the U.S. Chase walks through opportunities in Greece, Brazil, and Chile, and we take a step back to talk about how capital flows and political risk are reshaping global investing. Plus, we nerd out about frontier markets—and yes, a little bit about NBA playoffs too.--Timestamps:(00:00) - Intro(00:32) - NBA Playoffs and Initial Discussion(01:18) - Tariff Vice and Economic Concerns(02:07) - Impact of Tariffs on US Economy(07:34) - Recession Fears and Employment Data(09:58) - Trump's Trade Policies and Market Reactions(17:38) - China's Economic Strategies and Stimulus(28:29) - Investment Opportunities in Europe(30:00) - Investment Opportunities in Europe and Brazil(30:51) - Challenges and Risks in Brazil and Turkey(32:19) - Overseas Investing: Macro Tailwinds and Policy(33:32) - Turnaround Stories in Emerging Markets(34:44) - The Potential of Frontier Markets(38:08) - Geopolitical Insights and North Korea(45:34) - Agricultural Commodities and Market Trends(49:43) - The Dollar's Impact on Trade and Investments(52:03) - NBA Trades and the Cleveland Cavaliers(55:46) - Podcast Conclusion and Contact Information--Referenced: Pine Cone Macro: https://www.pineconemacro.com/--Jacob Shapiro Site: jacobshapiro.comJacob Twitter: x.com/JacobShapSubscribe to the Newsletter: bit.ly/weekly-sitrep--The Jacob Shapiro Show is produced and edited by Audiographies LLC.

VEON Ltd. CEO Kaan Terzioğlu talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's strategic focus on frontier markets, including Ukraine, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. VEON operates as a consumer and enterprise services company with a strong telecom foundation, leveraging its assets to offer not only communication services but also digital solutions in financial services, entertainment, healthcare, and education. Terzioğlu highlighted VEON's unique approach, stating, "One out of three is our communication customers... but about one-third also are digital services customers." The company is particularly active in Ukraine, where its subsidiary, Kyivstar, is the leading healthcare platform, providing over 2.6 million online consultations and supporting 80% of the population. With plans for a SPAC transaction to list Kyivstar on Nasdaq, VEON aims to offer US investors a chance to participate in Ukraine's rebuilding and growth. The company is also continuing its asset-light strategy by selling tower assets to reduce dependence on hard currency funding and manage foreign currency risks.

Today, I'm speaking with Monica Brand Engel, a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Quona Capital, an impact pioneer focusing on financial inclusion in emerging and frontier markets. Quona's mission is to generate impact and returns by investing in micro, small, and medium-sized businesses across South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The company is dedicated to transforming lives in underserved and underbanked communities through fintech solutions that bridge the gap between emerging markets and advanced financial infrastructures. It offers a range of financial products that meet the unique needs of consumers in these markets, including digital payments, lending platforms, accessible insurance products, and comprehensive neo-banking services. Monica's journey into impact investing is deeply influenced by her multicultural upbringing and experience in both the private and nonprofit sectors. She began her career in financial services, driven by a deep commitment to economic empowerment and financial inclusion, which eventually led her to co-found Quona Capital. Before founding Quona, Monica was a Vice President at ACCION International, a leading global microfinance organization promoting commercial approaches to alleviate poverty. Quona Capital is strategically focused on understanding the nuances of investing in emerging markets so that it can support entrepreneurs with both local insight and global expertise. However, it has not only made a significant impact on financial inclusion but has also proven that these ventures can generate strong financial returns. Under Monica's leadership, Quona has grown to manage $760 million in assets, with a team that speaks 21 languages and operates across major hubs like Mexico City, Bengaluru, Jakarta, and Cape Town. Join me today as I speak with Monica about her remarkable background and how Quona Capital creates opportunities for millions of people in regions often overlooked by traditional financial service providers.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing. —Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Key Takeaways: Monica's background and early career (00:00) The calling to work internationally (19:23) Career in ACCION International and shifting focus to fintech (27:39) The birth of Quona Capital (38:19) Quona's mission and key strategies (52:54) The meaning of financial inclusion (59:26) What makes a company investable for Quona (01:03:41) 3 key measures of impact (01:11:37) Aligning impact and financial returns (01:20:58) Evaluating and managing risks in emerging markets (01:36:05) Key lessons for impact investing success (01:44:35) Contact information (01:56:48)—Additional Resources: Visit Quona's websiteFollow Quona: - LinkedIn - X - Medium Connect with Monica: - LinkedIn - XConnect with Michael Chu on LinkedIn ‘The Innovator's Dilemma' by Clayton M.

Investieren abseits des Mainstreams eröffnet spannende Perspektiven für alle, die einen Teil ihres Kapitals jenseits der großen Industrieländer und aktuellen Megatrends anlegen möchten. Die Suche nach solchen Investitionsmöglichkeiten kann sie zu aufstrebenden Märkten in Südostasien führen, wie den dynamischen Tigerstaaten, oder zu kleineren Ländern in Südamerika, wie etwa den Nachbarn Brasiliens. Auch der afrikanische Kontinent bietet vielversprechende Chancen. Mehr zu dem Thema erfahren Sie in dieser Podcast-Folge mit Karl Matthäus Schmidt, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Quirin Privatbank AG und Gründer der digitalen Geldanlage quirion. • Warum glaubt der CEO an die Zukunft Afrikas? (1:06) • Welche afrikanischen Länder haben das größte Potenzial? (2:49) • Wo lauern generelle Risiken bei Investments in afrikanischen Staaten? (5:22) • Kann man als deutscher Anleger in Afrika investieren, zum Beispiel über einen ETF? (6:00) • Wäre Südafrika mit seinem recht weit entwickelten Aktienmarkt eine alternative Investmentmöglichkeit? (6:59) • Was macht Vietnam für viele Investoren so spannend? (9:35) • Wie passt das kommunistisch geprägte Vietnam mit der aufblühenden Marktwirtschaft zusammen? (11:24) • Gibt es über Vietnam hinaus aufstrebende Märkte in Asien oder anderswo in der Welt, die Potenzial bieten? (13:00) • Was macht die Charakteristik von Frontier Markets aus und wie unterscheiden sie sich von Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern? (15:12) • Hat Schmidt Beispiele für Schwellenländer und Frontier Markets? Was sind Beispiel für aktuelle Entwicklungsländer? (17:24) • Gibt es ETFs oder aktive Fonds, die das Frontier-Market-Thema oder Entwicklungsländer in ausreichender Liquidität spielen? (17:54) • Sollte man Entwicklungsländer beim Aktiendepot berücksichtigen? Welchen maximalen Anteil sollten diese Themen im Depot haben? (18:17) • Wie groß sollte der Anteil solcher Investments am Gesamtvermögen sein? (18:44) Gut zu wissen: • Investitionen in Afrika sind höchst spekulativ, hauptsächlich durch politische Instabilität und Korruption. • Afrika spielt in den globalen Aktienindizes praktisch keine Rolle, weil die Märkte nach wie vor über eine sehr kleine Marktkapitalisierung verfügen. • Von Einzelaktien sollte man die Finger lassen und in einem so risikoreichen Markt wie Afrika erst recht. • Die Länder Südostasien haben sich wirtschaftlich deutlich besser entwickelt als viele afrikanische Länder. Der Außenhandel ist dabei der wichtigste Wachstumstreiber. Aber auch hier gilt: Keinesfalls ein zu großes Volumen in das einzelne Land investieren. • Frontier Markets, darunter Vietnam, Marokko, Nigeria und Kasachstan, sind aufstrebende Märkte mit weniger etablierten und liquiden Finanzmärkten. Es gibt entsprechende ETFs, allerdings sind das höchst spekulative Investments. • Entwicklungsländer sind nicht investierbar, sie haben noch keine funktionierenden Kapitalmärkte. • Für Schwellenländer-Investments wird ein Anteil von etwa 15 % des Portfolios empfohlen, mit maximalen Abweichungen von 10 %-Punkten nach oben.

Andrew Van Sickle talks to Emily Fletcher and Sam Vech, co-managers of the Blackrock Frontiers Investment Trust, about the improving outlook for the sector and the appeal of exotic economies ranging from Vietnam to Saudi Arabia.

Emerging and frontier markets are full of opportunities often overlooked by the mainstream investment community.Today's guest will help us understand these markets and prove how systematic investing in publicly listed equities can unlock their potential for alpha and impact generation.Meet Asha Mehta, the managing partner & CIO at Global Delta Capital, a US-based equity long-only investment manager focused on harnessing the power of capital to fuel social and economic development in international, emerging, and frontier markets.With a background that begins with medical and anthropological studies at Stanford and a well-traveled upbringing, Asha developed an interest in microfinance lending in India after witnessing its extreme poverty in the late 90s. This experience led her to pioneering roles in sustainable and quant investing, making a mark on the international investment scene.Recognized as one of the Top 10 Women in Asset Management and dubbed a "Brilliant Quant" by Forbes, Asha's career highlights include leading emerging market strategies at Acadian Asset Management, where she launched the first quantitative/systematic frontier fund.At the core of this episode is Global Delta Capital's combination of systematic stock selection and a fundamental thematic overlay on the opportunities present in emerging and frontier markets. Asha and her team are not just seeking high returns; they're using their combined expertise to leverage ESG data and make a tangible impact on the world's financial, environmental, and social landscape.We also discuss a range of topics, including the importance of financial literacy, quantitative investing, examples of emerging markets that Global Delta Capital has invested in, and Asha's take on the future of investment in developing economies.If you're intrigued by the power of capital to drive global change and want to learn from one of the leading voices in the field, this is an episode you cannot miss.Tune in and be inspired by this adventure capitalist. —Show notes: {link}—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

Asha Mehta is Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Global Delta Capital, where she has a thematic focus on Emerging and Frontier Markets as well as Sustainability Investing. She was previously Lead Portfolio Manager and Director of Responsible Investing at Acadian Asset Management and prior to that an investment banker.  She has traveled to over 80 countries and lived in six, and recently released a book, The Power of Capital: An Adventure Capitalist's Journey to a Sustainable Future. Our conversation starts with her upbringing and her parents' immigration story, and winds its way through Asha's college years and her early interest in biological sciences.  A setback to funding of a vaccine distribution project in India, led to her finding work experience in Microfinance, and there a belief in impact and the power of capital was born. Asha then takes on a world tour, first through an investor's lens - we hear about her travels around the world and the areas where technology is enabling leapfrogging of existing infrastructure and breakthroughs that improve living standards and ultimately create impact. We travel from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, from Tunisia to Cambodia, and apply also the lens of sustainability, examining what meaningful ESG data looks like and how it can be used to fashion investment decisions. We spend some time speaking about Asha's book, The Power of Capital, which is written in the spirit of a true Adventure Capitalist, and the labor of love that that entailed.  Another labor of love was Asha's founding of her own firm Global Delta Capital, and we discuss the "adventure" of entrepreneurship and capital raising. You can find the book here: Link to powerofcapital.com and Power of Capital: An Adventure Capitalist's Journey to a Sustainable Future: Mehta, Asha: 9781119906032: Amazon.com: BookAs final words of wisdom, Asha encourages listeners to be the change they wish to see in the world. Similarly, to learn to work through change and even embrace it. Series 1 of 2024 is supported by Apollo Global Management, a leading provider of alternative asset management and retirement services solutions.

Kevin T. Carter, founder and chief investment officer of EMQQ Global, joins the podcast to discuss opportunities in emerging and frontier market stocks. His first lesson: don't bother with the indexes. The real opportunities are to be found in individual stocks. Content Highlights The first issue with emerging market investing is the index. These do not accurately reflect the real opportunities (1:19); Individual stocks, especially of technology companies, have performed far better than the underlying index (6:25); There are three mega-trends that point to emerging markets growth over the long term (8:03); South America's E-commerce giant is not in any EM index. Neither is Brazilian digital bank Nu Holdings (15:14); A broad discussion of China, where things are not always as they appear in the western media... (19:22); Right now all eyes are on India. The story there is still in the early innings, but unfortunately options are limited for investors limited to US exchanges... (42:13); Other markets in South Asia also offer compelling opportunities. Especially Bangladesh (48:58). More Information on the Guest LinkedIn: TheKevinTCarter; Website: EMQQGlobal.com.

Dr. Kimberly Kay Hoang is an Associate Professor of Sociology, the Director of Global Studies at the University of Chicago, and an award-winning scholar, author, and teacher. She received the 2020 Lewis A Coser Award from the American Sociological Association Section on Sociological Theory— a mid-career award for Theoretical Agenda Setting. Her books and articles have been awarded over 18 prizes by several different professional associations. Holding a Ph.D. in Sociology from UC Berkeley, her latest book is titled Spiderweb Capitalism: How Global Elites Exploit Frontier Markets.

In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism: How Global Elites Exploit Frontier Markets (Princeton UP, 2022) takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe. Kimberly Kay Hoang traveled more than 350,000 miles and conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers, fund managers, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, bankers, auditors, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands, Samoa, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal, financial, and political gray zones. Dazzlingly written, Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.
