In this first episode of Season 2 of Money Majlis, we bring you a priceless conversation with Mark Mobius, the “Indiana Jones of emerging markets investing”.

Is the asset management industry in decline? How have ETFs revolutionised investing? Why is active investing better than passive? What matters more for an asset manager - size or speed? How does private equity feed into public markets?

Mark delves into the history of emerging markets and the describes the uphill task he faced in the initial years to convince his company and his customers to invest in markets like China, India, South Africa and Latin America.

Why will Trump have a “net positive” effect on emerging economies? Are the G7 countries “too big to fail” or “too big to bail”? Is the idea of a BRICS currency feasible? And should the average investor portfolio have an allocation to crypto assets? Mark answers all these questions and more.

Listen to the guru talk about what the future of investing has in store for us.
