Boston, Mass, June 04, 2011 -- Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA), an advocacy group that is keen to encourage ethical investments in developing economies, has welcomed reports that investment in emerging markets is on the up.
According to new figures from the Institute of International Finance (IIF), the amount of money being invested in markets such as Brazil and China will offset the money being taken out of countries like Egypt. This will result, overall, in an increase in foreign investment in emerging markets in 2011.
The IIF said this week that it was revising its estimate of private capital growth inflows by $81 billion for 2010 and 2011. This has resulted in the total for 2010 increasing to $990 billion and the total for this year rising to $1,041 billion.
The IIF’s Deputy Director of Macro-Economic Analysis, Jeremy Lawson, said, “We expect interest rate differentials with the mature economies will widen in the near term as the emerging markets combat overheating, but then stabilise next year as policy normalisation in the mature economies gathers pace”.
AAA is an analysis and advocacy group that supports investment in alternative assets and emerging markets, such as sustainable forestry projects in Brazil, run by firms like Greenwood Management. It is also keen to encourage interest in the growing area of impact investing, which has already helped many small business people in Africa and other developing regions to generate income, grow their companies and improve their local economy – not to mention make money for their investors in the process.
“This is what is important to bear in mind when thinking about investing in emerging markets,” explained Anthony Johnson, AAA’s analysis partner. “We need to remember that these investments can be socially and environmentally sound, but will also offer a great opportunity for diversifying a portfolio of investments and reducing risk.”
Investments in forestry projects, such as those run by Greenwood Management in Brazil, have resulted in strong returns for investors at time when stocks and shares have suffered. Anthony Johnson continued, “Alternative investments are rarely linked to wider economic factors like traditional investments are, meaning they stay up, when equities, for example, are plummeting. This makes them very attractive when times are tough.”
