Emerging market investment advice from a seasoned pro

Mark Mobius, the man the Wall Street Journal has proclaimed "the King of the Emerging Market Funds," spends eight months of the year traveling the globe in search of hidden market bargains overseas and in Passport to Profits: Why the Next Investment Windfalls Will be Found Abroad and How to Grab Your Share, Revised Edition, he shares what he's learned. In a globetrotting tour taking you from the Baltic coast to Brazil, Mobius reveals his own experience-tested guidelines for investing abroad. Analyzing companies and new markets, identifying potential pitfalls and overlooked values, crunching numbers and meeting the local players, he knows where true growth is, and with this book in hand, you will too.

Presenting a straightforward, practical investment philosophy based on one key, indisputable fact: that the rest of the world's economies have far more potential for growth than our own, Passport to Profits shows even the most casual investor how to view investing abroad, how to devise a global investment strategy, and the pros and cons of buying individual stocks or mutual funds. The development of stock market infrastructures in emerging economies has opened up potential for impressive returns, and this book is your guide to cashing in.

  • Illustrates the four keys to determining if a country is investment-friendly and how to gauge political climates for great investment opportunities
  • Analyses the 2008 crisis and its implications for the development of the emerging financial markets
  • Explains the rules for investing abroad that too many investors fail to understand

An adventurous and honest insight into the art of investing in emerging international markets, Passport to Profits provides the hands-on experience you need to balance the risks and reap the rewards of global investing, right from the comfort of your home.

      How is one to describe a book that recommends on one page that investors in emerging markets subscribe to a slate of newsletters that cost up to $10,000 per year each, while claiming on another page that investors need only a good map? Perhaps as a brilliant mess. Mobius is recognized as a talented investor whose Templeton Funds enjoyed a 20% annual gain from 1987 to 1997, but this book is sloppy. If it reads like a collage of rough notes, however, that rawness may give readers a better idea of how Mobius thinks than a cooler, more polished work would have. Whether speculating in high-risk emerging markets or picking moderate-risk domestic mutual funds, investors can learn much from him, but more about attitude than specifics. Mobius is intuitive, not systematic as he takes readers on his never-ending tour of those corners of the world just settled enough to invest in but still chaotic enough to offer exceptional opportunities (e.g., Vladivostok, Brasilia, Lagos). Like a hard-boiled noir hero, Mobius has optimism without illusion and empathy without softness. He dissects tragedy with clarity and a world-weary shrug; describes foolishness with cool detachment; and evaluates high-risk opportunities with a gambler's wary eye.
