Investment opportunities in Russia and other emerging markets
February 1, 2019 11:10 am
Mike Harris, emerging markets (EM) strategist and founder of Cribstone tells IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor now is the ‘ideal year’ to rotate ‘aggressively’ away from the S&P 500 and into emerging markets. Harris warns that the biggest risk to EM is a strengthening US dollar. In terms of investment opportunities, he says the market is logically embracing Brazil thanks to its new ‘Thatcher-esque’ leader. Meanwhile in this interview, which pays particular focus to the investment opportunities in Russia, Harris says the risk-reward profile of the ruble looks ‘pretty good.’
We provide fast and flexible access to over 15,000 financial markets – including indices, shares, forex and commodities – through our award-winning range of platforms and apps.
Established in 1974 as the world’s first financial spread betting firm, we’re now the world’s No.1 provider of CFDs and spread betting* and a global leader in forex. We also offer an execution-only share dealing service in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. We have recently launched a range of affordable, fully managed investment portfolios, to provide a comprehensive offering to investors and active traders.
Through our low fees and smart price-sourcing technology, we help traders keep their costs down.
Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 81% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider†. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Professional clients can lose more than they deposit.
* Based on revenue excluding FX (published financial statements, February 2018).
