A 40 minute seminar delivered to financial advisers covering investing in a world of changing demographics and pension reforms.

This is a comprehensive educational document outlining the key differences between developed market and emerging market healthcare, the benefits and risk associated with investing in emerging market healthcare, who is investing in emerging market healthcare and what should be considered when investing into this market.

At a time when growth in developed markets is hamstrung by high debt levels and ageing populations, emerging markets represent a source of significant growth potential. Emerging economies are benefiting from rapid industrialisation, urbanisation and the creation of new technologies. These factors look set to support demand, and in turn growth, into the future. However, many investors are deterred by the inherent risks. Certainly, emerging markets see greater volatility than their developed market peers. However, these markets are transforming. Corporate governance is improving, and many firms now pay attractive dividends.

Emerging markets have a reputation as the high octane element of a portfolio, a source of growth, but also risk. While emerging markets are certainly more volatile, there are some persistent myths about the asset class. When we look at President Trump, or Brexit, for example, can we really say that political risk is higher in emerging markets? Equally, while governance issues remain in some emerging economies, there is widespread improvement.
