In emerging markets, things aren’t always what they seem — or what consensus suggests. Savvy investors and business leaders trust GlobalSource Partners to get the real story before making major decisions.
FOR ASSET MANAGEMENT
Double down or pull back? An investment thesis is only as strong as the accuracy of the underlying assumptions. Access the most trusted in-country analysts and get the insights to make the right move.
FOR CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
Budgeting and FOREX decisions in emerging markets require a deeper understanding of economic policies and their impact to mitigate risk — and capitalize on opportunities.
FOR PRIVATE EQUITY
All the numbers add up — until they don’t. Changes in tax policy, interest rates and exchange rates can turn a great investment into a terrible one. In countries with higher volatility and lower transparency, macroeconomic due diligence is critical.
