Now you can tap into the amazing growth story of the Emerging Markets
Imagine the growth generated by 3.2 billion people moving from villages and farms into brand new city apartments. Cutlery – crockery – furniture – bedding – cooking and electrical appliances, everything you would need to furnish a new home. Look around your living room and think to yourself for a moment…
“What would be the effect on company profits and the economy if 3.2 BILLION people went shopping for everything in this room?”
This is just part of the story that is the New Industrial Revolution!
There’s a New Industrial Revolution happening right now
The first industrial revolution took place in the US, Britain and Europe in the late 1800’s. Machines replaced human labour, productivity rapidly escalated, and people were paid more. Consumption increased producing an endless cycle of demand and supply.
New must-have products were invented and trains, ships then even airplanes expressed them to the homes of a fast growing population (burgeoning even more with better health care programs) – all through the cash registers of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.
And consumer credit made the consumption accelerate at an even faster pace.
In the two centuries following 1800 the world’s average per capita income increased over 10 fold, and the world’s population increased over 6 fold! (1)
The patterns are repeating
Many nations in the world today are going through similar massive growth. (The emerging economies or emerging markets.)
Indeed, this growth has never been seen on this scale before as countries like China urbanise and industrialise with massive populations.
Originally starting with the BRIC countries (Brasil, Russia, India and China – which still offer the bulk of the opportunities) investor interest has widened to a myriad of smaller economies that are experiencing similar growth. (Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Emerging Europe.)
Whilst volatile (and therefore higher risk) investors see potentially huge gains in these markets over time.
For example, in 2010 China became the world’s largest exporter. Over the last 30 years GDP growth in China has averaged 8% per annum and the economy has grown more than 10 times during that period, with Chinese GDP 3.42 trillion US dollars in 2007. In February 2011 China officially surpassed Japan as the world’s second largest economy. It is estimated at the current rate of growth China will exceed the USA as the largest economy in the world by 2050. (2)
An investment in Emergent gives you the opportunity to tap into these amazing growth stories. Never before has such a huge investing potential been available to us and canny investors are considering allocating part of their portfolio to emerging markets.
Borderless investing opens the world’s exciting markets to you
It is this growth of unprecedented volume that smart investors are seeing and seeking to take advantage of. The world of investing is no longer divided by borders and boundaries. It has now become possible for everyday Australian investors to profit from explosive growth in emerging markets.
Many companies are rapidly developing their businesses to cater for the insatiable demand this new Industrial Revolution is creating. Companies are poised to grow customer bases that may even exceed that of the entire population of Australia! With urbanisation occurring at a pace which is equivalent to a city the size of Sydney being built each month, many companies are growing at a very rapid rate. (3)
Growth of this nature is a once in a generation opportunity. Emergent is designed to take advantage of and profit from these exciting opportunities.
The Tiger is roaring (and getting louder)
The 3.2 Billion people in the developing Asian economies are demanding and creating increased standards of living. Not only are they fuelling demand for household items but also the incredible amount of infrastructure required to support the cities being developed – roads, buildings, train lines, airports. Urbanisation is happening on a scale many Australians have difficulty fathoming.
With urbanisation on such a scale, Emergent is well positioned to profit from these opportunities for many years to come.
