Christoph Hott
“One of the hottest themes in product launches is currently the MENA region, i.e. the Middle East and North Africa. From a fund selector’s point of view, unfortunately the peergroup is rather heterogenous. The most important distinction between funds is the country allocation. Some funds include Turkey and Israel as key markets of the region while others focus on the Gulf countries and/or Northern Africa. Turkey is a typical emerging market story. The Gulf countries use their windfall crude revenues for a prudent transition of their economies. One should not mix the investment cases in one product as they are so different in nature.”
